Unless you don't count insurance, depreciation etc and purely look at the service interval costs, then I'm not sure since I don't have all the data for that. But counting everything from purchase, depreciation, insurance, maintenance, fuel, oil etc, then the G2 will empty your bank account quicker than the R22....
I am only going on what the man in the video says. You dont suddenly buy another type and then tell everyone it is cheaper ( the accountant say so ) . My point has always been, never ever believe what an OEM tells you, his job is to sell you his product. Go ask the guys and gals signing the cheques, they will tell you what one actually costs to run. I have owned and run over 30 different machines over the years as i said from 269B's to As 350B3's so i know what they cost as the money has come out of my bank account ! So if the man says they are cheaper he must have a good reason to say so !
