Dave,
I hope that you won't sit down or shut up.
You've come to the right place to talk about fuel economy. We have folks
who drive every conceivable type of vehicle from the big rigs to the...
ah... er... well, for now lets just say smaller vehicles that you don't prefer.
And in my experience they, we, are keenly interested in helping anyone who
cares enough, for whatever reason, to want to minimize their outlays for fuel.
I'd ask that you give us a few data points to begin to work with. For instance,
if 2 vehicles could conceivably cover your needs what types would they be?
Be precise, like a late model Big 3 sedanthat can tow up to 3K lbs and a
diesel pickup to tow up to 13K lbs. You wouldn't get 40 MPG out of either, but
some are better than others and there are lots of little things that can add up
to significant savings.
And I suspect that you already know that readjusting the expectations and
driving habits of the nut behind the wheel is a major part of getting better
fuel economy.
Anyway, I can't wait to see how this conversation is going to proceed...
the ball is in your court.
