[quote=bearishgurl]paramount, if you currently drive an “Excursion,” you have the “gas-eater extraordinaire.” Sure, it has the “ultimate in cargo space” but you are paying $80-$100 for ONE fillup.

Different strokes for different folks. I drive an older Lexus “luxury” sedan which floats like a boat and gets 27-29 mpg on the road. Its trunk is plenty big enough to store all you would need for a road trip and then some (except, of course, bikes standing up and 2-75 lb dogs, lol … :))

Oh, and btw, my car’s engine is rated for 500K miles. I’m slowly working my way there, with regular maintenance, of course 🙂

My car will officially be 20 yrs old next month :=D[/quote]

$80 to 100? Try more like $200 bucks if I’m really low.

An Excursion is a true truck/light-duty commercial vehicle unlike a 4Runner or even a Suburban.

I don’t drive it much, I much prefer the driving experience of a 3 Series.
