The economics makes sense if you don't need to drive a car every day.
$60/day includes insurance and gas.
Now currently my insurance runs me around $600/year with liability only for a 2000 audi. Which means it costs me $3-4/day every day just in insurance if I had full coverage whether I choose to drive the car that day or not. So take your $35/day rental get full insurance(~$20/day) and pre-pay the gas and it'll come close or over $60/day as well.
