For us a car wouldn't work well because of driving in the fields so using more gas off sets the other things that we appreciate about the vehicle.
BTW....I've heard that our gas is suppose to be up to five dollars by the end of this year. Not good news.
Gayle, I hope that your warranty covers your expenses to get your car fixed. It seems like it's always something.

My brother did give us our parents' old '91 Explorer, which has nice aerodynamics from all the rust holes
But I'd like something a little nicer one of these days
My parents live on a steep hill with an even steeper driveway, and when I go home in the winter I have to go around the back of the hill which isn't so steep, and brake slowly as I'm coming down the other side so I can park in front of their yard. If I slide, I have to go around and try again. I don't even attempt to get up the driveway because I end up sliding backwards down it in my car! So when we buy an SUV it will need four wheel drive to make life easier! We go to the lake a lot too, and Scott's parents are moving to their lake when they retire in a few years, and there are pretty bad gravel roads to get to either place.
Gayle, that's terrible it's excluded!! I guess that's how they make their money.
