Replying to: fezo (Jan 06, 2009 11:54 am) the original intent of this thread to get people to post about swapping there suv for something they now regret. for me there are times when i don't care what the cost of gas is or how much i use, i just want to get home. usually getting to work is not a problem. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 06, 2009 3:19 pm)  It's been odd to see what kind of decisions people are making. I can't think of many scenarios where even at $4 gas that swapping out vehicles for better mileage made any sense. By my nature I've always hunted cars that got at least decent mileage (which used to mean at least 20 mpg years ago and is now in the low 30s...) but whatever I land on that's what it will be. The thought of losing thousands of bucks to improve economy is pretty odd. |

Replying to: explorerx4 (Jan 06, 2009 3:19 pm) I don't think we've had a single poster stating that they dumped their SUV for a more economical ride. Maybe we should rename it "Are you happy you didn't sell your SUV?" |

Replying to: steve_ (Jan 06, 2009 3:47 pm)  However, I do wonder if there were any that KEPT their SUV but bought something cheap and easy on gas to run their errands in while gas prices were so high.

Replying to: nippononly (Jan 06, 2009 4:23 pm) To tell the truth when I bought my Celica part of what made it seem almost logical is how much cheaper it is to run than my van. That's not why I bought it though. I bought it because the top goes down. Right now that's not much of concern here but better days are ahead. |
