if you are going back and forth to school and for a bite to eat

this what it cost me and i have driven each of these cars

matrix ~ $15 per day in gas the medium 85
civic uses ~ $10 per day in gas on the cheapest
hybrid ~ less than $6 per day. $20 lasted me a whole week

now those are reasonable gas prices for practical cars.

range rover supercharged 4 days from full tank of 91 cost $135
viper cost $100 every 4 days full tank
escalade $30 per day. from point grey to north van and back
x5m $140 per week full tank(aunt bought it new 2011 and told me)
s550 ~$20 to use per day.

the thing is you could get a luxury car, but it would have to be a hybrid like a escalade hybrid or a lexus hybrid.

unless you have a good paying job driving a luxury car daily is stupid.
and the older you go with a car, the more gas it uses since the engine is not running at its best and uses more gas to go the mile.

also another problem with luxury and gas is that you have to use premium not because its better for the car, but because the compression to very high and lower octane gas burns too fast for the car + ethanol which is not very good. almost all luxury cars are big v8 and heavy.

so if i was you i would get a blu tech merc, hybrid, or a base model with the smallest engine like a challenger sxt.

gas + food + other shopping expenses could easily add up so think before you buy.

this is based off of my experience so it could be different for others.

for me i love cars and i work my ass off in something i like everyday after school. make 3k a month part time and i have insurance, car financing, gas, food, clothes i have to pay. and even though i make 3k i only have about 100-200 bucks of money i can save up. im also one of those guys that would live in a shack, eat baloney sandwich every day and have 10 cars
