That's why I'm happy w my '85 Suburban. Fuel WILL go up, w diesel more fuel source options.
Suburban easy motel for me.
The near 30mpg. is at a steady 50mph.
It's always ready to tow anything I need.
If I'm in more of a hurry; 22mpg is still probably there.
I've got $1300.00 total into it, reliable, and paid for.
With 4wheel drive(manual hubs) I'm ready for cross country winter trips, at the drop of a hat.

All of these above reasons make me believe I'm having my cake, and eating it too!
