The cost of fuel over the life of a car is almost always more than the cost of the purchase. Works that way with most anything, the cost of electricity to run a lightbulb for it's lifespan is many times the cost of the bulb. The cost of methane to run a furnace will be dozens the price of the furnace, the cost of ink cartridges could be hundreds of times what you pay for the printer, it's just how the world works.
