Dang, fill the tank of his pickup three times in a week! Where is he driving that he's burning that much gas and can't claim it as a business expense or get paid for mileage? Luckily, I can get away with filling Green once a week.
I was recently given a rusty '93 Eagle Summit Wagon (Mits Expo LRV) that needs the trans rebuilt. My bro and I are going to attempt the rebuild it ourselves in his garage and I may use it as my commute to work car after we're done. Been eying '96-'99 Ford Escort Wagons on CL lately too though.
I was noticing the used car lots around here have the overwhelming majority of their lots filled with SUVs and trucks. Maybe it's time to talk price on a good suburban down to almost nothing.
its a step in the right direction. i hate empty and big suv's and pickups on the road, and the person in it is in a suit going to his office job. it just endangers the smaller cars around them, making smaller cars add safety features and weight
you'll be amazed at how much crap i hauled in my coupe, since the back seats folds down. if its too big, i just put it on the roof and strap it down (did it with beds, sofa's, fridge, table, even 500 pounds of rice for a restaurant)
Nice article. I personally know of 3 people that are trading in their trucks/SUVs for more FE vehicles. From what I'm told, they're taking a hit on trade-in value.
One of my co-worker's traded-in his relatively new Chevy Tahoe for an older Audi A4 1.8t w/ a manual trans. He took a beating on that deal.

It says after paying $75 to fill up??? My friends pickup truck is closer to $100 at current prices. he doesn't drive it anymore. I see many SUV's and trucks, for sale every time the gas prices spike. DUH...Iv been driving small cars since the 80s gas crunch...
