Thanks, Daox.
-Multiple answers to your question:
-Our economy car is a Toyota Tercel; we get in the mid-30s with it on average & surprisingly good mpg on freeway trips. On the down side, it looks like crap. Whilst my better half is on the Left Coast next month I plan on fixing some of that.
-I had two Datsun four banger, pre-electonic, diesel pickups; they both gave good service until the bodies fell apart.
-I, unfortunately, have a thing for Jeeps, but this is my last one: an '88 Comanche pickup that wants to bounce between the mid teens and low 20s. I'm in the process of looking for a replacement now. I'd get a Jetta TDI but we want to travel, so will have to search out an economical tow vehicle for a lightweight trailer (Casita?), if such a thing exists.

-Any suggestions on either a trailer or tow vehicle?
