The huge vehicle thing is always a puzzle for us. We live 25 miles from the closest town. We need a vehicle that will haul hay and a horse trailer. Additionally, we have four teens who use wheelchairs, even in the car for transport. We own a Dodge diesel truck (25 mpg) and a Ford van (15 mpg).
We could buy a small economy car for trips that don't include kids. We could buy the new Dodge Sprinter van that gets 30 miles per gallon on diesel but won't pull the trailer. But then we'd be paying a car payment on what ever choice we made. So, although we would use less fuel, we wouldn't save a penny. Such a quandry. Nancy
