I traded my gmc in on a 2011 Honda crv, I was having trouble averaging 10.5
mpg- that was trying real hard to get there- driving more than 30,000 last
year,.I felt ignorant and just plain stupid with $95 gas bills 6-9 times a
month.
The crv is not fun, the truck was awesome, but its nice and has what I
"need" for now
A cool note, the trucks mileage killed its value, but the dealer in Lincoln
offered me $22,000 for it, Kelly blue excellent condition trade value.  I
bought it 15months ago with 35,000 less miles on it for $21,500.

I own ... the '76 is the year my parents had; the '79 is my first car; the
'81 was my parents' car; and the '87 has sentimental reasons for the
year....
