I'm all about saving gas, but spending $5000 or so to swap will take a long time to pay off.

Thats like the hybrids, I didn't understand why people were going out and spending $20-30k on a car to save gas money???
Me and a guy I used to work with did the math on financing a new hybrid vs keeping a paid for gas guzzler. I think the hybrid finally became cheaper to own around 9-10 years. Might have even been longer.
