Team 8 Tahoe Hybrid vs. Tahoe GasolineGas vs. Hybrid FactsScenariosScenario 1 Gas vs Hybrid with all cost factorsSlide 5Slide 6Scenario 4 Annual Mileage Analysis (w/ maintenance)ConclusionsResourcesTeam Members: Ramiro Alvarez Frank GundranMinh TranMatthew ZuWe are undertaking the comparison of a Hybrid vs. Gasoline powered Tahoe to see which of the two is truly a smart buy.▪We will be assuming: ▪15,000 miles per year▪5 years of ownership cost▪Both Vehicles $5000 as down payment▪$3.50 per gallon nominal gas price▪Gas Tahoe - $47,917, 15 mpg (conservative driving)▪Hybrid Tahoe - $50,031, 21 mpg▪Both vehicles were packaged to cost as similarly as possible.Scenario 1Comparison with maintenance, repair, gas, and monthly payment—as the assumptions state.Scenario 2Comparison without maintenance and repair.Scenario 3Comparison change in gas price and including maintenance and repair.Scenario 4Comparison with changing annual mileage and still including maintenance and repair.▪Monthly payment▪Maintenance and repairs ▪Gas cost▪The unpredictable maintenance estimates make the plots difficult to predict, but if we remove these factors…Scenario 2Gas vs. Hybrid (w/o Maintenance & Repairs)•Same down and monthly payment as before•NO maintenance or repair costs•Fuel is the only cost considered•Here, without the erratic maintenance costs, it becomes clearer.Annual Cost Analysis w/o Maintainence$ 0.00$ 2,000.00$ 4,000.00$ 6,000.00$ 8,000.00$10,0 00.00$12,0 00.00$14,0 00.00$16,0 00.000 1 2 3 4 5 6YearsCostGasHybridScenario 3Gas Fluctuation Analysis (w/ maintenance) $3.50 was used as a nominal price (ignoring the current dip in oil prices).The cost gap between the Gasoline and Hybrid versions increases along with a rise in fuel prices.The Differences is a linear relationship, according to the Progression column.Gas Prices GasHybridDifferenceProgression$2.50$1,325$1,298 $27 #$3.00$1,366$1,328 $39 $12$3.50$1,408$1,357 $51 $12$4.00$1,449$1,387 $62 $12$4.50$1,491$1,417 $74 $12 Change in annual mileage changed price of gas EUC price for hybrid always lower As miles increase per year, EUC price increasesUnder our analysis, the Tahoe Hybrid is a better value, as far as ownership cost data exists for the first 5 years.Based on vehicles packaged with similar options.Based on conservative driving of the Gasoline Tahoe to yield an average of 15
