Okay here it is. Now it gets 27-30 miles per and is 4x4 auto and today i took it up to the high end and was hovering right around 112 mph and about 4000 rmp. I think it still had a little left, 
all in all its not as bad as i thought it would be. Its not a bad little suv...

What would you rather have:
$3120 per year in gas spent($60 fill up for 52 weeks) or $6240 per year cost for a commuter vehicle (payments, gas, insurance)
What do you have at the end of that year for each decision?
The $3120 in gas just more miles on your truck, nothing else.
The $6240 in total cost for a commuter vehicle has equity built into it......
Can you sell the gas when your done? Nope, but you can sell off the commuter car and recoupe a big chunk back.
I'd get the commuter vehicle also......

You didn't factor in some of that $3120 in gas he's now putting into the commuter.
It could be more like:
$9000 + by having two trucks.
Still - I like the RAV...good trucks
