As for an 'economical' gas guzzler I would wait until Detroit makes us some, because there's no such thing... 23mpg in an SUV is like me trying to decide between a Bmw 850 and a Ferrari Mondial yet being concerned enough about FE that I'm wondering which 12 cylinder does better...

But with gas just having hit $4 a gallon it is only a matter of time before Detroit does deliver both space and economy... Now it might be more stuff along the lines of underpowered cube minivans such as what we had in the 80's, but to get a car now to me is jumping the gun.

I think you'd save more money keeping what you have, at least for the time being.
