Every time I'm doubting my choice of vehicle and think about upgrading I'm going back to year 2000 something where gas was 4bucks plus and I was driving my 4runner, 17mpg city 19 hwy and that's on a good day going downhill 60 plus miles each day. Cost to fill up was around 70 bucks almost twice a week.
With what's going on in Dallas and another recession/stock/housing market, basically dollar collapsing very soon, I can't justify selling this car since the economic mess will drive the prices up. Remember when SUVs were dirt cheap and used geo metro that was worth nothing was selling for 5k? I think we're going to be in the same scenario soon and this is the car to have when gas skyrockets. I don't expect it to go as high as before with fracking but I'm keeping this bad boy.

then no harm but for me who commutes 60 plus miles daily it would be a total waste of time. I have had these debates with folks who continue to put premium in cars that don't need it, nor it won't improve any performance/gas mileage - it can actually hurt it. They don't want to hear it, premium is a premium, no matter how much evidence and explanation you provide.
