I just bought my truck in Nov of last year and I am already concered about the gas prices rising!! Anyone else thinking about trading it in for a gas sipper?

Is there a thread to post trucks for sale on here?

 

Nope.

 

Every time gas goes up people do this. Gas is on its way back down but you have to do what you feel is right for yourself. I have seen people trade for gas sippers and once fuel went down they went right back to a truck. Makes no sense to me.

 

Speak for yourself. Gas took another jump of .05 here today.


I think about it when I spend $100 to fuel up, but I know that if I was to get anything else at this point that it would be an R/T charger with the same motor I have now which isn't worth enough of a gain to get it done.

I dunno. I just don't know how to drive anything that doesn't have a V8 in it I guess.

 

Agree with you, I seen this many times before. Me, I love having big gas-guzzler and will not trade it in unless its another big truck.

 

I have to agree.... no gas sipper for me either... V8 or nothin at all.
Tradin down to a gas sipper would kill the deal for most of us. Most of us would end up being upside down on the loan to trade down to a sipper. Where`s the savings then...???? Big loss on the trade in will never make up the difference owning a sipper. Might as well save yourself the loss and put it in the gastank of the hemi truck. Most likely the cheaper way out.

Anyhow........
No thanks, i`d much rather stay meen than go green. For some of us, spring is just around the corner, i`ll be back out on my harley soon. I get 55+ MPG on my bike...!!!!!!!!!!!! Buy yourself a cheap bike, learn how to ride, and save alot more on gas, keep the hemi truck and pizz off a politician. Bikes will get alot more MPG`s than those liberated sippers that the EPA/GOV wants to force down your throat.

 

Yup, buy a bike like I did.

 

If you don't actually need a truck, then it is a good idea. Just make sure you do the math on how much money you are "saving" by switching vehicles.

 

go to a gas calculator, if you are getting 17 mpg in a truck and trade for a car that gets 24 mpg? You will gain 7 mpg ... if you drive 15,000 miles a year
257.00 per month , new car 182.00 you would save 75.00 per month / 18.75 per week / 2.67 per day ???
