I have a relative that has a Kia with the "Eco" light. That's a requirement for his next vehicle. I guess I just don't understand why not just drive lighter without the light?
One of my coworkers just bought a house and he now needs a F250 for his house. When I get a house, I'm doing one of two things for house / building supplies:
1) Tow a trailer with the Cherokee I already own and rarely drive (it can tow 5000 pounds)
2) Buy a 4 cyl / 5 speed ranger (they get good mileage).
I love big trucks, don't get me wrong. I think a 3/4 ton, leaf sprung truck is about as good as they get. I just 1) Can't afford one 2) Don't want to gas up one. Back when I lived at home and my Taurus was on it's last leg, I was commuting in my dad's unused F350 XL (base model). I love driving the truck , but it got about 13MPG all the time. When I bought the Cherokee, it got 18MPG ... between the F350 and Cherokee, and the riduclous credit card holds that are placed when you buy gas on a credit card, my $500 credit card was getting turned off all the time with holds!
