Advice on a work ride, but i need more then gas mileage. any ideas?

IMO,what's the point of having a nice vehicle if you don't drive it? Keep the insurance up and drive ! If gas is a problem,is the new job worth it?

I'm kinda disappointed that I only get to drive less than 1 1/2 miles to work,that's really worse on the new truck than all the highway miles..

oh the truck will be drivin, but the plan was to find a beater just for work so dont blow half of the extra income on gas. plus i dont like the idea of piling those miles on my titan.

I've been driving 2.8 miles to work for the last 2 years. guess I'm spoiled.

90's 4 runner. Or a Subaru Outback, they are really cool cars and go through crazy snow!

Snow?? what the heck is that? :whhooo:

+1 on the outback dont like the way they look but they drive well and rally even better on any terrain.I had a 93 pathfinder in high school that i rallyed the hell out of and i grew up in alaska were muddin, jumpin,and trail riden almost every other day at sutton coal mines and jims creek only thing i ever had to repair was clutch and exaust i snapped on some jumps lol. I think i put about 40 bucks a week in gas. And i was driven between anchorahe and wasilla alot which is about a hour drive

The problem with buying a beater is for the price,high miles will already be there and reliability is a crap shoot - regardless of what brand it is.
