12T Km per year
Php52/L gasoline
Php43/L gasoline

12KPL Accent HB
10KPL Mirage

Annual fuel cost for Accent HB
12,000/12*43 = Php43,000 per year

Annual fuel cost for Mirage
12,000/10*52 = Php64,200 per year

Annual fuel cost difference
Php19,400

Years to recover price difference
320,00/19,400 = 16.49484536

With whatever computation (I did say my computation isn't accurate but enough to show my point) to see any benefit from the Accent's CRDi engine vs the Mirage 1.2L CVT, it would still take over ten years of driving the car.
