First suggestion, buy a smaller car if you can. Second suggestion, depending on how long your commute it, but a bike. Third suggestion, ecomod your car.

V6 vs. V8 ...........about 9 thousand dollars more IIRC . I tow a utility trailer now and then and maybe a small travel trailer in the future.
Oh and for my V8 fix my 425 powered 65 cutlass is getting a 500 ft lb. 455
soon.
Smaller car ? actually have them already one is a 05 Scion XB best yet 37 mpg., avg. about 32 with me driving about 30 with my wife.Its going away because we are bored with it. In its place will be a 1980 Volvo Bertone cp.
powered by a 2000 ford Explorer 5.0 and atm 4 sp. should get better than the old V6 Volvo. My goal is 28 freeway and who gives a crap around town
Also have a 66 Volvo Amazon wagon which may see some time as a driver when its deemed reliable enough.
The parts car for the 66 is a 68 Amazon wagon and I could see modding that for 40 MPG or ?
Back to why I am here (the truck right now) it gets about 18 mpg with my rush hour drive. Just shy of 20 @ 70 mph.
Love my truck, going to have it for my DD for a couple years and WILL improve it MPG'S
Looking forward to learning from you all !
