Cosmo says;
"I bought a 12 year old full size Chevy truck about five years ago when gas was a dollar. So I need to get out of it and fork over 20K (which I don't have) for a little pipsqueak auto to get a few more miles to the gallon? Not likely. As far as driving less; any less and I'd have to stay home from work."

His point Cosmo, was do you _need_ to drive the full size truck to work every day?

I have a 1989 C3500 which I bought 3 years ago, when gas was $2 a gallon. But I use it when I need to haul something heavy. When I drive myself to work, I don't consider myself a legitimate 1-ton load, so I drive a 16 year old Corolla, which I bought 5 years ago for $2000.

The truck gets 12 mpg (or less when loaded). The car gets 32 mpg.

His point was, you don't need a brand-new "pipsqueak" auto to get "a few more miles to the gallon", but you could buy a used "pipsqueak" and save enough money on gas to pay for it in a couple of years...

Instead of snapping at him, you might want to think about it.

Regards.
