No, insurance and registration on a 3rd vehicle costs more than the gas my monster Suburban uses. I also need to get to work in all Montana winters have to deal, I had a Subaru as a 3rd car but realized I wasn't saving anything. There are no reliable awds less than about $2500, and they don't save much gas anyway (my Suburban was only $3800). I don't have a long commute but will be one of "those guys" driving alone in the guzzler next to you every morning.
