Been tossing around the idea of picking up an el cheapo compact commuter vehicle to save some wear and tear and depreciation on the truck. Any suggestions? I've seen plenty of Nissan Sentras for $2k or less, but I don't know what kind of mileage they get. I think it would take a solid 40 MPG to get me to drop coin. I figure I spend about $1500/yr on fuel for the Ford, and it gets 20MPG with about 80% of my driving on the hiway. That would save me roughly $750/yr in gas, not to mention the cost per mile of operating the larger vehicle. Any suggestions? Also, we're talking four wheels here, not two. I'm skeered enough driving with these crazy bastages in a full-size pickup. (<---that was for you, Pred. :moon: )
