Of course, if you dont have a four banger as a spare. If the truck is your only ride.
I have been reading that if we go to war with Iran, gas prices can go up to more than $4, with predictions to $4 by this summer or end of year. If the warmonger goes more nuts, I will have to dump mine at $4.

RE: How much would gas have to go up before you dump the truck?
another way of looking at it is....
how many more hours of work
must you now do
to pay for the increased cost of gasoline
for the total mileage you drive the truck a year?
if you drive 13,000 miles per year
and get 13 mpg
and the cost of gasoline has gone up $2 per gallon
from the $1 per gallon it was in 1999
and you take a 2nd job paying ? per hour
how many
extra 8 hr shifts of work
is it for you?

I voted for 4 dollars - right now I am paying about 2.90 - which I hate - I imagine I will hate 4 dollars even more - but I don't think I ll dump my truck - I need it for hunting and hauling but I would buy a little 4 banger for commuting

RE: How much would gas have to go up before you dump the truck?
i wont dump it! if i have to i'll ride my harley to work until it it gets too cold.(i.e. below 32 deg f).look we all bought these trucks knowing full well the reputation for their appetite. is owning a truck a man thing? damn right it is! so if u have to buy a four banger to commute dont be ashamed.your toy/baby/girlfriend or whatever you call your BIG BAD *** TRUCK will still be at home for you to enjoy.also think of the miles you WONT be putting on it!there is no substitute for American muscle. HEMI POWER!!!!!!!!!!!
