To further understand how much it costs to operate a vehicle, a miles per $ (Mp$) metric is needed. Unlike ‘Cost per Mile’, Mp$ is like MPG, the higher the better. [Check out the calculator here](http://www.afteroilev.com/mpdollar_metric.php). ---

Safety experts recommend seats that have a 5-point harness and front harness adjusters. If your child will be rear-facing, the harness straps should be at or below the shoulders and there should be no more than a 45 degree recline. it prevents your child from getting hurt at the time of accidents. The Convertible car seats are easy to install and its always better to install the convertible car seats in the back seat of the car.

The mp$ is very interesting. It looks like electricity wins. Is that with a full sized car? I know a small car like a GEM gets the equivalent of 150 mpg or more, but a car capable of highway speeds may be less efficient. ---
