Considering the rising price of fuel, and assuming the same engine/trans choices remain, and also assuming mileage doesn't increase in the new models.

What will you drive next?

Motorcycle

I need an RCSB. The fuel would be worth it.

I saw you had responded, and before I opened the thread, I just knew you would say RCSB.

The recently increased price per barrel of oil is making you think about toys again.

Yes, I am stoked.

Could you get me a job too?

I could teach seniors the difference between gasoline and diesel.

Maybe a 4 cyl tacoma

I should have added 4 cyl Taco, but I always think 4wd, which to me always means 6cyl.

I switched to driving my GT vert most of the time now. I get 21 mpg on back roads even with the V8.

I love the 5.7 to much considering getting me a lower hp engine.

Camry

I am retiring from the military and one of the follow on jobs on the table requires a 90 mile commute each way. With gas at $3.20 and 15 mpg, that's almost $9000 a year in my Tundra. The spreadsheet says I can finance a $20,000 car that gets 40 mpg and still cost less than commuting in the Tundra. That being said, a Prius can't tow my trailer or haul mulch.

This is an excellent compromise between performance and efficiency. The V6 in the latest iteration can manage a mid 14 second quarter mile off the showroom floor while getting almost 40 imperial mpg per gallon on the highway.

Fortunately, anti-gel additives also contain lubricity additives. Perhaps that Jan fellow can offer a prayer to save the pump and injectors?

First, I'm not sure if he can pray in Metric.

Second, praying for a vehicle to work must be some kind of sin, God is busy enough listening to the prayers for people who are sick.

It must really suck to have millions of people praying to you all the time. I'd want to get a little peace in my life.
