This is especially true if you do more city driving because the EPA city numbers are near identical. My spreadsheet formulas take that into account.
Bottom line, as always, is if you can afford an SS, and want an SS, then get one regardless of gas price fear.

The part I bolded is what I'm refuting. Percentage wise it will always shrink. Dollar wise it will grow, the difference does NOT get more minimal as gas prices go up.
