too get before you guys and gals will get rid of your trucks??? I've seriously thought about it several times with diesel sky rocking through the roof! I paid $4.89 a gallon this morning!

Everytime I think about it and start weighing the pros and cons, it ends up being a better idea to just hang on. If I go with a gasser I'll save at the pump, but, the mileage I'll loose, it ends up being a warsh! Then if/when I tow, it really starts to get expensive with the drop in mileage.

How do you guys & gals feel?

 

I have driven my truck less then 1,000 miles in the past 2 months. Compare that to 20,000 since I bought it in May 07. I pulled my trailer for 50 miles round trip last week loaded and was getting 8 MPG. We are going to the lake this weekend and I dread filling the truck and the boat up for just one day on the water.

I guess you can say that I stopped driving it already, but premium unleaded is now at $4.09, but I am getting 24 MPG.

 

Can't stop driving it, gets me to the shop and back everyday. But I have stopped pulling the trailer. We are driving the Suburban more on the weekends, it gets about the same mileage and at about $.90 a gallon less, it feels a little better on the wallet.

 

When I fueled earlier my bank card just stopped @ $100.00. I've noticed some stations stop @ $50.00, some @ $75.00 and some @ $100.00.

 

Something else I'm toying with is buying a tahoe or suburban that is flex fuel. I noticed in my new hometown they sell ethanol for $2.48 a gallon.

 

I can't stop, I love it so....

But really, I need it everyday for work.
I haven't come across a civic that is able to pull my trailer around.

 

Only thing is if you use Ethanol mileage goes down like 20-30%. Atleast thats what they said on CNN.

 

mine is parked and I am driving my beater S10 2.8

 

Since I got mine back from the wreck I have only driven it on the weekends or when I need to pull a trailer or make a long trip. My daily driver Jeep gets about 20 MPG.

 

Too bad a person couldn't drive a flex-fueled vehicle for 30 days and find out for sure if the mileage is as crappy as everyone says it is. I'd like to get rid of the Dodge, but I owe too much to trade it off.
