Was I the only one who noticed that Sarah said "Dad" at the same time?????
Your math is slightly off but close. Lets see, The Scion has a 11.9 gallon fuel tank. Assuming that it costs you $18,000 for a fully kitted Scion xB and $55000 to make it electric and you never bought another gallon of gas, to break even (ie pay for the conversion only), it would take you (at $2/gallon) 27500 gallons of gas ($55000/$2 per gal). With an 11.9 gallon tank(lets call it 12 for ease of math), that's 2291.67 tanks of gas (27500/12). Now, the Scion xB gets an EPA rated 30 city / 34 highway mpg with an automatic transmission. Lets average your mileage out at 30 miles to a gallon. That means that your would have to drive 825000 miles to break even (27500 x 30). Upping the cost of Gas to $2.50/gallon (more like reality in DC), gives you the following mileage: 660,000 miles. Still waay too much.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm pretty much a complete noob when it comes to camera stuff. My wife loves to take pictures, though. So much so that she literally wore out her first point and shoot camera, and the Kodak Z712 I bought for her less than two years ago is starting to act up as well. To compound the matter, we are expecting our first born sometime next year. I fear the Kodak just isn't going to cut it any longer. What would be the best starter DSLR to get? She hates missing photo opportunities due to camera 'lag' so speed would definitely be at the top of the list. Photo quality and features would be next. Price should be no more than $800. I'm not interested in video capabilities."
