...you could consider renting a combustor in case of long distance trips. Furthermore, it'll reduce your vehicle's abrasion and even save you money by doing so: driving a combustor costs ~$0.50/mile (http://exchange.aaa.com/automotive/driving-costs/#.WZKZDt9NzCI http://exchange.aaa.com/automotive/driving-costs/#.WZKZDt9Nz...).
Let's consider a trip of 300 miles.
It'll cost you about $150 with your own combustor.
Renting a car costs about $50/day (or cheaper, depending on which car to go for).
Gas consumption will add another ~$35 which leaves you with a total of $85/300 miles.
Just curious: how often do you exceed the 100 miles range?

- dagw 9y agoI agree with your idea in general (and did similar math myself before buying a car), but I disagree with your numbers. I never drive 300+ miles just to turn around and drive home the next day. If I'm driving 300+ miles it's generally to spend some time at the place I'm driving to, and if renting I have to pay that time as well.
