I disagree. With gas prices above $4.00 here, it makes a ton of sense to want to keep costs down and that fuel bill just keeps coming at you. Every little bit helps when you're biting off a $1,000+ month payment and registration fees to boot.
Absolutely wrong. If you are concerned about fuel prices and economy, then you probably have no business financing a $30-$40-$50k etc outfit. IOW, if you can afford to buy a new vehicle, then the difference in fuel economy means nothing.
Or, stated in another way, if you are buying a new $40k truck, and you are worried about fuel expense, maybe you can't really afford that new truck. Maybe, just maybe you should step back and buy a used truck that you can actually afford.
