I just recently picked up a cheapo used econo-car that gets 30+ MPG. My truck was just killing me on fuel expense. Lower gas prices were really helping, but now its getting really economical to run around town and that's exactly what I am doing, unfortunately, what everyone else is doing. Traffic is up bigtime.

In either event, right now is the time to get cheaper econo cars and 4cyl little trucks because prices are down, nobody wants them, and everyone is after big V8s right now.

Might as well bust the rust and cobwebs out of those Suburbans and Expeditions and put some miles under the tires if you already own that stuff, but buyers market right now is on the little fuel sippers.
