In defense of my decision, I usually use public transportation to get to work, the car is a toy. I went in the opposite direction, 25mpg –> 10-12mpg.

But did the tank last longer? Or were you still filling up as often? @ Alex – “and it ended up that filling up the new car was about the same as filling up the truck with the lower prices.”

I ended up getting a Honda Civic at the same time that gas prices sky-rocketed...and it ended up that filling up the new car was about the same as filling up the truck with the lower prices.

We aren't trying to replace the one we have. We just need a second vehicle since my husband takes the only one we have to work everyday, and I'm at home with two kids. I like the feeling of security when I have a vehicle here. In our search, we are looking for something with decent gas mileage. Someone was trying to sell us an Explorer actually. But we declined because I wasn't satisfied with what I read online about the gas mileage for those vehicles. We are still looking for something, but are being selective about it on so many levels.
