That math is a savings of 225 gallons a year using those number. At $3 gallon that’s $56.25/mo.
20k miles/ 20 mpg = 1,000 gallons @ $3 = $3k
8k miles/20 mpg = 400 gallons @ $3 = $1.2k
12k miles/ 32 mpg = 375 gallons @ $3 = $1.125k
Savings of $675/ 12 = $56.25/mo
The only savings is going to be tires/maintenance. The fuel won’t offset the insurance.
My truck tires are $1,700 vs say $500 in a car assuming no crazy wheel size. Oil change in my truck is $119 vs no idea but assume $50 in a car.
