My daily driver is a 92 saab 900. When I need to move something I have a F250 4x4 diesel dually and a F350 dually dump. The fords don't see much road action unless there making more than it costs to drive them. Both cost well over a $100 to fill at current prices. I put one tank of fuel in the Saab a week -- 350 miles of travel commutting to work.
I looked for a moment at buying a commuter car (new) in the 50mpg range. I'm not comfortable enough with the economy to take out a loan to buy a new car at $26k nor do I want to part with $26k out of savings.
I think you're right about looking at the numbers long term. I don't expect to see fuel prices drop till spring 2006.
