On today's commute, I saw a car with the famous "This Car Climbed Mount Washington" sticker on its rear window.
The car had broken down in the middle of the road.
600k miles is a bit of a reach, but after double-checking this commenter's math, I'm blown away by how close it actually is. Moral of the story: as industry MPG figures climb higher, the potential fuel-cost savings between competitors drop.
And, because nobody drives their car 600,000 miles, here's the 100k-mile breakdown for the Prius/Corolla Hybrid (and AWD models) versus the RAV4 Hybrid/Rav4.

The CX-90 also has a higher down payment--$4K vs $2.5K--but the effective monthly payment when that down payment is factored in is still only slightly higher ($503 vs $488)
PHEV models offer incredible value when leased. Right now, Mazda's offering the CX-90 PHEV (example with a $47K MSRP) for $392/month. At the same time, a Miata ($28K MSRP) can be leased for $419/month.
