Fuel economy is more useful when calculated from distance travelled and fuel added across real fill-ups rather than dashboard estimates alone.
A schedule can remind you what to inspect or service, but the correct interval still depends on the manufacturer, vehicle, operating conditions and service history.
Purchase price is only one part of the decision. Fuel, insurance, taxes, repairs, maintenance and depreciation can change which vehicle is actually cheaper to keep.
