yeah, sorry i havent posted in a couple of days. but anyways. some of yall are misinterpurting (sp?) what im saying i think.
i want to sell/trade my truck. and get a new car (mazda 3) i dont want to have 2 cars. i just need one. and i prefer to have one that doesnt cost 240dollars a month to feed (gas).
so. i will be either trading in my truck at the mazda dealer (if i come out even or close to it on what i owe, $17k) or sell it. and then get a contract for the mazda3 the one i want is the 2.0l that gets roughly 26-30mpg
no second daily driver car for me, just one vehicle is all i want. and i got to test drive the mazda3 and i love it. so i wouldnt regret losing my truck (cept for when i buy a big screen tv with all the money i've saved hahaha j/k). anyways. peace yall

I say if you want/need to drive a smaller car to save money, then do it. This is an F-150 site, so most of the people here are going to be partial to keeping the truck.
so yeah...
i traded my F150 in...
now im in a 2.0L mazda3...
im sad to see big bertha goooo...but im in love with this little pettie purty lady!

truck 20 gallons
useing $3 a gallon as a ref.
car would use $30 a week
truck $60
savings $30 a week now divide $5000(cost of car, plate and insurance) by $30(weekly gas savings)
it would take you 166 weeks to break even or just about 3 years and 2 1/2 months

You just do it and you brag about it.
Then the next guy does it and brags about it
and so on and so on.
Then, long before 166 weeks have passed the oil companies are saying,
"WTF? Where did all our big oil profits go?"
My beater gets 26 mpg!
KISS MY *** BIG OIL!

Many of us who like trucks likely bought our truck because there was a need, or at least a percieved use, for a truck and truck bed. Even if bought as a cool personal vehicle, there probably are still times you are glad you have a truck, right?
IF you gave up your truck, would you miss it? When you "moved" into a truck, how much did you miss your car? I didn't miss mine at all, and it was a nice car.
Also, some part of driving is the enjoyment of driving whatever it is you drive. Another way to save on fuel costs is to buy a little sardine can, or somethng so old and / or beat up ugly that you hate to drive it or even to be seen in it. That will keep you off the road, and at home more of the time which will also help you save $$ on your fuel costs.
I know this is only my humble opinion, and this a F150 forum, but a nice truck (any make even other than Ford or F150) can be just as nice inside, maybe even just as enjoyable to drive, as is any of the cars that we would buy if we were to replace our truck.
If I could have only one vehicle, and it had to be either a car or a truck, I would choose a truck every time. I would be willing to have a car in addition to a truck, but not instead of one. Truck first, SUV second (why do people flame SUV's so quickly(?), they have the same drive train as our trucks, and in many ways are even more useful than a pickup truck (families and kids, groceries, etc.), car third and last.
I have have hot cars (SS's, El Camino's, Mustangs, you name it), sports cars (Datsun / Nissan, Mazda, Porsche, Corvette's), even Caddy's and MB, but I have never enjoyed owning, driving, maintaining, "souping up", even cleaning and detailing any of the vehicles I have owned as much as I do the nice
trucks I have owned.
Also, you won't find a better group of people than others who like and drive the same brand truck you do, either in person or online.
IF I DID ever have to downsize and get rid of my big truck, it would still be to a smaller truck.

Three dollars a gallon doesn't scare True Americans.
Hell, at 5 or 7 dollars a gallon some weak kneed Americans may falter.
But at the magic number of $9 dollars per gallon only the truest of true Americans will stand with Patrick and me and george Bush and declare in voice much louder than a whisper...

$70 bucks a barrel, so $70 bucks a bushel is my suggestion for a place to start.
They would run out before we do. I just wish that there weren't so much more to it than that.
Also stated was -
"If I could have only one vehicle, and it had to be either a car or a truck, I would choose a truck every time"
I not only choose to have a truck, I have to because I run a business out of one. I can see me trying to haul what I do in a Honda Civic or even an Accord.

I am glad it worked out for you how you wanted. Just don't understand why people insist on buying trucks KNOWING they don't get the 25 MPG that import cars do and then complain about it. You knew what you were getting when you bought the truck gas has been over $2.50 for a while and over $2 for a longer time it ain't like high gas prices are a new thing.
Not trying to flame you I just don't understand why people who don't need a truck insist on buying them only to complain about them later. I have never driven a car a I can't I use my truck that is why I bought it.
I also know how the used car business works very well and unless you sell your car outright to another person you are farther behind and completly counteracted the purpose to save money if you traded it in.
