Honda Accord Coupe v Dodge Challenger

Will 5 more mpg really make much of a difference?

I’m planning on buying a new car in a year or thereabouts and I am looking very closely at the Honda Accord coupe 2008, and the 2009 Dodge Challenger SE. And I like both cars.

The Honda Accord gets 30 mpg on the highway while the Dodge Challenger only gets 25 mpg.

Is that five mpg difference going to be a significant difference, or are both cars pretty much the same in terms of their mileage?

Thanks.

Compare mpg of hybrids and regular gas-driven cars

  1. I think it would make somewhat of a difference in the long run. Lets say you drive 14000 miles a year at $4/gallon. that equates to

    Accord= 14000/30 * 4= $1866/year
    Challenger=14000/25 * 4= $2240/year

    * I also assume that you use a lot of this on city driving, which lowers MPG for each a little, so the difference would be more like $200+ a year. I would say a car life span is at least 5 years… so the difference would be about $1000 in 5 years. But there also variable factors here like the price and how much you drive.
