I have a twist on all the hub-bub for touting fuel mileage and saving money. I drive an 89' f-150 that don't owe me nothing. It's big, ugly and not real efficent. I beat all that by not driving unless I NEED to. That is to work and back, hauling stuff up to the post office and trips to town. Usually with about 30 seconds of planning I can combine all these trips into one. Maintenance on this old cuss amounts to about 200 bucks a year. My figuring say's that even if I bought a new vehicle that got twice the fuel mileage I couldn't justify the costs of initial purchase, depreciation, insurance, enhanced maintenance etc. of a new vehicle. Our society has been brainwashed into settling for nothing but the best and newest. The whole push on these is to get the old vehicles off the road and get vehicles on the road that cannot be serviced by anyone but a highly skilled tech. We studied this back in the 70s in auto tech school. Our teacher was somewhat of a hippy but very down to earth and very intelligent. He had us read George Orwell's book '1984' before discussions on this topic commenced. We are seeing the effects of this trend now 30 years later.
