Your response to rising gas prices?
#6
It’s making me rethink (again, its a cursed carousel) letting go of the Prius. I just drove back up from Phoenix to the Lower Mainland of British Columbia in 2.5 days. The car got an average of 50 mpg, it doesn’t do quite as well at 70 as it does at 30 mph... that’s when it gets 55 mpg.

I was all set to sell it in April/May and get a minivan but as gas was climbing (went up 80 cents a gallon in 2 months), I started waffling.  (I’m good at waffling, should go to work for a pancake place.)

I am aware the average minivan would get 18-25 mpg (city/highway) and that’s a big hit compared to my Toyo. However the comfort factor (lack of) is really beginning to wear on me. I’m not a big guy and there’s soooo little room in the car. Having a built-in generator and a/c available is fine until you can’t move.
