I thought of that too. But if I get an extra 5, even 10 mpg it still won't
make up for the payment on the rig.
I love these uses Taurus wagons. I've had two of them go 230,000 miles now
with nothing major. Oh yeah, one got an engine at 220,000 or so but that
was my fault for running it low on oil.
Pick them up used with 75,000 to 100,000 all day long. Usually for less
than $8k too. Cheap insurance, decent mileage, easy to get the ladder on
etc. My only problem now is that I have too many towers up in the sticks
and can't get to them without whacking the bottom of the car all of the time
on the rocks. (I DO know that changing an oil pan in one runs $500!)
I'm gonna have to find an suv for my next rig. Probably a Cherokee or
Durango. Not sure yet. I want a QUIET rig this time. That's the worst
thing about the Taurus around here. The roads are rough and the car is
awful.
laters,

I don't believe the gas prices will come back down to below 2.00 any time
soon.
So we're shopping for new high gas mileage vehicles.

Hi All,
Just got our $700 gas bill for last month. That's just MY driving. No
employees. And I don't even drive an suv!
I'm thinking of a $20 per install fuel surcharge. Kinda like what the
concrete company did to me last year at this time.
What are people that have large spread out networks doing?
If we slow down on the installs it'll not be a big deal. But if it kicks
into overdrive again in a month or so (pretty normal for us) this summer
is gonna be ugly.
thoughts?
