thanks for the advice on shifting. We have a lot of steep hills that are fairly short. At 55 I coast down them in gear at about 1500.
As far as getting a new vehicle. Out of the question at this point. My car has devalued to nothing and I don't have the 10,000 or more to save 500 dollars a year in gas if that and having to spend 500 more a year in insurance with collision. Numbers don't add up.
