(I know I have not included tolls and use of car depreciation)
Two points - Hybrid autos can be a good investment option. Airport buggies are far better.

I replaced a 2008 Honda CRV with a 2024 Honda CRV hybrid the advertised city milage is 39 mpg , I was skeptical. My experience has been much better. With all the round abouts you usually don't come to a full stop, this makes a big difference . I have as yet never taken in out of the econ mode and have been getting slightly better than 50 mpg in the Villages, highway mpg not impressive comparatively , mid 20s if I remember right. I find this a good trade off as I do not do a lot of over the road travel .
