Oh, add the fact that we've got 2 greyhounds, whenever we travel they need space to lay down in Since whenever we travel (for stays) we take the dogs with us, plus the luggage, we can't do without a largish vehicle As long as you don't drive at stupid speeds (I use Cruise Control a lot, and always stay under the speed limit), then the gas usage is acceptable In January we went on a weekend away with a couple of friends and our dog (one at the time) to Scotland - with all of the luggage and the room for the animal, if we didn't have the Explorer, then we would have needed 2 vehicles, which would have used MUCH more gas We try not to do stupid small trips, if the shops are close enough to walk to, then we don't drive Owning a big vehicle is about intelligent usage - if you use it for short "town" trips, then you're using gas up, if you only use it for long trips, then they're fine We can't wait until we can get a hybrid SUV - Ford and Dodge have some great ones coming out, which will REALLY help with the gas usage, and have the same storage as a regular SUV (or very close) Roll on the Hybrids <g> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 Host with the leader in ColdFusion hosting.
