I don't understand. It's not a hybrid. So how do you figure 140k miles to have it pay for itself in gas savings?

Yeah, plus savings over what? A reference point/comparison point present to figure savings/a break even point. When considering new cars in 2006, I compared the Yaris to the Prius. I figured the break even point was north of 300,000 miles on a Prius, and that assumed not having to replace the hybrid battery.
