I think everyone is in the same dilemna, big vehicles, poor mileage, high cost of fuel. The wife drives a 4WD Chevy Tahoe (13mpg) everyday, and is thinking about getting a little car. The math doesn't add up much, like it's been said, it's just the fact of the matter. BUT, it would be more practical, we haven't towed hardly anything with it, got the truck for that, and in five years haven't used the 4WD but a handfull of times (again, have the truck, which is in the mud a lot more, w/trailer). Anyhow, it hurts the wallet either more, and we have been put in a place where we have to make some decisions. If, as they tell us, gas will get more expensive, smaller cars put less pollution in the environment, use less gas, and are definately a lot more practical than an SUV that doesn't get off the road. Just an example, my dad has had trucks all his life, he has a 3500 dodge dually cummins diesel (awesome truck!), but he just bought a little Chevy Malibu to drive around in, and his truck hardly sees any use. I know not everybody is in the same position, I drive a truck everyday as well, but in my dad's case, the car works great for him and he never thought he would drive it more than his truck. -Chris
