Back in 79 with gas running $4+ a gallon my 100+ daily trip to work was costing me more than my mortgage so I traded in my beloved Chevy 4x4 truck on a front wheel drive Chevy Citation. With good winter tires all around I used that little hatch back to hunt, haul fire wood; I even crossed a few small streams to get to my favorite hunting spots all while getting 40+ mpg.
So use what you got and don't worry about it.
