 might not be attributed to the TOTAL costs of running an old car versus 
 the TOTAL costs of a newly manufactured vehicle.....just change used 
 oil to old car and virgin oil to new car........perhaps an interesting 
thread.

One of the upshots of this thread (covered a few years back) is that it
takes about as much energy to produce a car as it will consume in its
lifetime.  So the argument used years ago about taking gas guzzlers off the
road and replacing them with more fuel efficient cars is flawed.
