That's good advice for sure. My problem is that I have a truck and a motorcycle now....then there's my wife's car. 3 vehicles and I'd really hate to take up the driveway space, extra insurance, and maintenance for a 4th vehicle. I know the costs will be somewhat offset in fuel savings but consider 4 to 5 months out of the year I drive my motorcycle to work. I also need a truck frequently for wood gathering (we heat our house that way) and a few other duties...and you'll see why I'm reluctant to buy yet another vehicle. I'd just like to get as much FE as I can out of this one and I'll be happy.
