Where's the $758.13 come from?

Thanks! Good catch! Sorry about that. Copied my numbers over too fast from Excel (didn't use copy and paste due to formatting issues). The $758.13 was the average of the highway and city assuming 50/50 driving of each.

City
4.8i (14mpg)= $5,025.00/year
x35d (19mpg) = $4097.37/ year
Savings of $927.63/year

Highway
4.8i (19mpg) = $3702.63/year
x35d (25mpg) = $3114.00/year
Savings of $588.13/year

Combined (50/50) = (588.13 + 927.63)/2 = $758.13
