Okay i need some advice and this could turn into a hot deal for the accord price. i ill explain below.

I currently own my 2004 Chevy Silverado LS 1500 . i have the pink slip. however i now commute to work and with gas prices climbing.....and filling the gas tank At Least ONCE A WEEK at $70.00 a fill up, and sometimes once on Monday and Once on Friday to make it back and forth. I started considering a different vehicle.

so i decided to look at a 2006 honda accord LX SE 4 cyl. I am looking to trade in my Silverado. Dealer says they will give me $14750.

Blue book on the truck at fair condtion is 14885. so not too bad there.

the 2006 Accord they will sell it to me for $19750 plus tax lic doc. (Again MSRP is $22,225.00) Pretty hot deal there..

based on my figures ( they could be higher this is just an estimate)
Silverado approx 17 MPG Honda accord approx 26 mpg approx 9 miles per gallon diff. SInce the accord gas tank is smaller

lets multiply 9 MPG X 17 Gallons = i get 153 Miles more miles on the accord per tank

Given if the tanks where both completely empty it would cost

to fill up the sliverado at $3.00 per gallon. would be $78.00
to fill up the accord at $3.00 per gallon it would be $51.00

Difference per week approx $27.00 X 4 weeks $108.00

The payment on the new accord will be $131.00 after trade in for 5 years.

my other consideration is that the silverado will be out of warranty in May of next year . the accord base warranty is 3 years.

what do you guys think?
is the accord worth going for? i am trying to keep the payments low. hence the se and not the hybrid.

also if you PM me i can let you know the dealer with this price in No cal SF bay Area
