For the price difference (between the Lancer & City) to get even, you'll need to do over 700 full tanks of gasoline.

That's a lot of gas and driving.

So it's another plus for the Mitsu Lancer GLS
just to make a clearer picture... at 700 gas tanks and assuming 50 liters of gas... and assuming a consumption of 7km/l city driving... 35000 liters which is 245,000 kilometers... if you drive about 50km a day (here in baguio, that is a lot... baguio to la union is less than 45 kms), that would be roughly 1,600 kms per month but let us just round it to 2000 for the sake of discussion...

2000 km/month * 12 months = 24,000 kilometers

conclusion... it will take roughly ten years for the the city to finally say that it is *winning* the *fuel consumption+price difference* race...

lancer for me... though already old...

but then again, if you factor in PMS... medyo magbabago siguro ang equation...

nevertheless, the lancer still gets my vote... i almost got this one before but we opted for a bigger one...
