I'll use the combined fuel economy rating of 25 mpg.
Using average Premium gasoline prices in NJ ($3.40/gal) for my calculations means:
7500 miles / 25 mpg = 300 gallons x $3.40 = $1020 in total annual fuel cost.
11,250 miles / 25 mpg = 450 gallons x $3.40 = $1530 in total annual fuel cost.
Does $1020-1530 annually really upset you so much to warrant buying and maintaining an additional vehicle? Am I missing something?

I'm trying to stay away from the pumps as much as I can. Besides, according to my math, taking into account local factors, on average I'm spending about $3000 a year on fuel.
