At today's gas price of $1.90/gal, $28K could buy 14,736 gallons of gas.

Averaging around 36 mpg in a regular Yaris (as most people do), that $28K worth of gas will take you....

530,496 MILES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OUCH.

Yeah, but in terms of early adoption that's actually not that terrible a price. And gas will likely be right back up at $4 a gallon gain this summer anyways.
