Of course, we cannot forget Chevrolet's marketing tactic to give away a vehicle to the MVP winner. After leading his team to a come-from-behind win over the Patriots, Eli Manning was chosen as the Super Bowl XLVI MVP and the proud winner of a 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible. 

 

 

With high fuel and insurance costs, the Corvette Convertible costs $1.02 per mile to own and operate, but we are sure Manning can afford this with no problems. Since, this vehicle was a prize, with the Dynamic Cost to Own system, we could customize the depreciation value to 0% and adjust taxes that Manning will have to pay, but since you have already dealt with football squares, bets, and statistics we will try to keep the numbers to a minimum.

 

If Eli Manning drives his new Corvette from Indianapolis to his team's home town in New York, which is roughly 709.2 miles, it will cost him $725.44. But if the Patriots would have won and Tom Brady drove the vehicle back to Massachusetts, which is 962.3 miles, then it would cost Brady $984.33. 

 

Although Brady would have a higher cost of ownership to drive his car home, he would actually have a lower cost of ownership in the long-run. With the Vincentric's lifecycle cost calculator, you can analyze and compare ownership costs in all fifty states or a national average. It would cost $1.02 per mile for Brady to own the Corvette in Massachusetts, while for Manning in New York it will cost about $1.10 per mile. The eight cent difference is primarily due to the higher fuel and insurance costs in New York.
