There's no way you can get double the gas mileage and justify the expense in purchase and depreciation. The gas mileage argument has allowed many a man to scratch his new vehicle "itch" but I have to agree on this. It ain't gonna be a good move.


Why new?
Find a good used Toyota put 100K on it, sell and repeat. Has worked well for me several times and has saved a lot of money.
Screw payments!
