Engine is gone on car. Does anyone drive a truck instead of a car?

[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 570969, member: 6546"] Jody-- Based on some of your posts, I get the feeling that you are on a really tight budget. If that's the case, don't be too quick to dismiss the extra gas cost for the truck. The truck is going to have much lower mpg and is going to have a much larger gas tank. In my household, I drive a small car and husband drives an SUV, and we drive about the same number of miles very week. In an average month, I spend about $125 on gas....while husband spends a whopping $350! My 10 gallon gas tank runs about $25 to $30 to fill....while husband spends $70 to $75. That extra $225 a month on gas (an extra $40 to $50 per fill-up) is really going to impact your budget. And really, that is pretty much a car payment... Make sure you do the math before deciding on the larger vehicle. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
