At my commute of 25 miles per day, I think I figured a 3 year break even point on buying a $2000 commuter car at $3/gallon. That's way to long to gamble on it making financial sense imo. I didn't figure in selling the V b/c I wouldn't, but your commuter car wouldn't cost $2k, either.

you know the minute that i drive a "commuter" car that it's a lost cause, i think --the V is one of the slower cars in the household....giving up that sort of "speed flexibility" for gas economy would be hard to swallow. but i'm going to visit the idea.
