We recently unloaded our Jeep Cherokee because it had a gas guzzling 4.0 liter engine. The wife now drives a Kia Sephia which is WAY better on gas.
I drive a old Ford Ranger beater, 4 cylinder 5 speed manual and I get good gas mileage too. I haven't checked it but it's probably in the mid to high twenties.
Due to my ongoing disdain for insurance companies and lending institutions our criteria for auto ownership has changed. We now find it wiser to own a newer used car (paid for) with a lower insurance premium and monthly payment.
I still find it hard to believe that my biggest expense is for something I never or rarely use.
Insurance! What a freakin' scam..!
