We have both a nice fuel efficient car and a truck, The truck gets used ONLY when I need to go to Lowes or HD and the pull the boat to the lake, It burns diesel fuel and gets good mpg for a truck. We use the car for everything else, its a Suzuki Aerio AWD sport wagon, we need either 4wd for AWD here as we tend to get around 160" of snow each winter. I use a pellet stove to heat our moblie home to cut my natural gas bills. I wish someone would bring out a small diesel pickup, either toyota or nissian, as I dont need a full size but the old fullsize with a diesel gets better than the smaller trucks I can afford. Love the new Chevy Colorado and the Honda Ridgeline, but I cannot afford $24k+ for a new truck, or 30K+ for a hybrid as they are going for that around here. Diesel fuel should be much cheaper than it is as its easier to refine than gasoline, since its not in this country it keeps away the smaller diesel cars that they have in europe. VW makes a 3cyl diesel car about the size of a geo metro that gets just over 100mpg if you drive it normaily, but they dont bring it here do to emission standards!!!! Lets see here, it gets over 100mpg but it doesnt meet emissions???? Who is getting kick backs on this one??? Both Mercedes and BMW make diesel cars in Europe that will out run and get much better milage than anything we have, dont sound like diesels and dont smell like them either, but they also dont get imported. Just my 2 cents
