So if I understand this correctly, I should ditch my fully paid for (as of 8 years ago cost $15k) 4x4 1997 suburban that hauls a family of 6 around weekly, tows my 5000lbs and 3500lbs trailers around in the summer that consumes fuel equivalent to a 2000 AWD Chevy Astro for a:

Mini Van that would save me roughly $600/year in fuel, cost me another $15K to purchase and also acquire another vehicle (rent/purchase) to pull my trailers around???

Hmmm.....the math seems a little fuzzy there...

(P.S. the Corolla is the DD and other when I can use it)
