    I put my 2007 Tundra in the shop last week. Should pick it up tomorrow. I had them install a 7" BDS Fox Coilover lift. In the mean time I borrowed a car from friend; a 2000 something Nissan Versa. I forgot how good it feels to get good mpg. I still miss my truck, and will keep forking over the bucks to fill er up, but this little car is a nice break.

    Agreed there... I've caved in and pulled my sub-compact out and drive that to work, its easier on fuel and parking in the bay area...

    I understand what you mean with saving the gas. I drive 57 miles one way for work. And I was spending alot on gas each month just in gas. I bought a small car just for work and the amount of money I save on gas pays for my little car and its gas lol.

    Yeah. I am driving 111 each way right now, till we move anyway. I bought a prius. Cost me 13$ or less a day. The truck was about 40. I miss driving my truck every day. But got her on the weekends.

    Both of my Tundra trucks average about 16 mpg, so I'm getting 32 mpg.

    I know how you feel. I love my Tundra.

    But I love the gas milage I get with my RAV4 plus I don't have to plan for parking. It fits in any spot and I don't worry about door dings. ☺️☺️

    The only good thing about the virus(and the oil war, Russia/ Middle East) is oil prices.

    Regular unleaded, $1.09 now, 100LL aviation fuel, $2.99.
