I wonder, though, if there are studies done on how much energy it takes to make a car from start to finish. I figure I'm probably saving a bunch of energy that way (by not going out and buying a new car when the old one works fine). My Honda Accord has 287K miles, and I'm going for at least 400K. Keeping a paid-for car sure beats buying an expensive one that gets higher MPG. And one that gets decent mileage (28-30 MPG).</div>
