Do you know that some people buy appliances that are on sale and yeah we pick the best efficient one we can afford like everybody else does.

Who said anything about buying a 'new' car? Buy a '92 civi and enjoy over 30 miles to the gallon. My dad's 93 accord averages 42 mpg driving between calgary and vancouver.

Why don't they buy new appliances as well when their old ones die -- Are they too freakin cheap to do so?

Energy star appliances cost roughly 30 dollars more on the sticker price than the appliance that isn't. That's about 6 weeks worth of energy saving.

Do the math on the cost of insurance, upkeep and gas relative to the extra cost of living closer. If it doesn't make economic sense, don't do it. Just insulate your house more and you'll still save money.
