A few days ago I was listening to a local radio DJ who was asking his listeners what they were doing to deal with rising gas prices. Some were carpooling, some were making a point to consolidate errands into one big trip, some were postponing summer vacations. . .
I'm already fairly conservative in the amount of time I spend "running" my vehicle and I refused to sacrifice a much needed family vacation. So my most economical option was to say "good-bye" to my Dodge Durango! We've only had it for 4 years and thought we were getting a pretty good deal, buying a used car and all. And it's actually been a pretty good car, except for the fact that it sucks! Literally - it sucks the gas.
So after much looking (we honestly started looking over 2 years ago), I decided on the Kia Sportage. It's smaller, but then so is my family these days; it's fun to drive and most importantly I'm not spending nearly half a day's salary when I fill it up every week! So my picture today is dedicated to better fuel economy!
