Yes it makes sence to have a fuel efficiant vehicle for the daily comute................but............If you double your fuel milage you will save X$ per week. After you spend 15-20k on the econo-box, pay the taxes,insurance and dvm fees, you must drive how many weeks at X$ savings to break even?
Factoring in the routine cost of driving (oil changes and tires) baring the arival of any major repairs. It doesn't make sence to buy another car just to save gas money. (unless you have one of those 4 gallons to the mile mobiles)
I'm going to use the recent gas pricing to my advantage, I can sell my little Nissan truck for the cost of a full size rig. I don't use it much so the milage isn't much of an issue.
