We live in the midsouth.
Hubster drives an automatic '05 Dodge Neon. He commutes one way - 18 minutes to work which is 14 miles away via highway. We commute one way 17 minutes to church which is 9 miles away via city-streets. We usually get by w/a single tank of gas for this family car each week unless we do something out of the ordinary which is very seldom.
My standard '01 Dodge Ram truck normally decorates the drive-way. I think I've taken it out once in June and maybe went somewhere in it twice in May. Normally I hitch a ride w/my kids to do my errands and work when they are going out anyway.
My closest booth for my junque' dealing is about 15 minutes away and I visit it weekly usually in FrugalSon's truck after I drop him at work. And the other booth is an hour and a half away, apprx. 90 miles. It's across the road from my mother's house so I combine business & pleasure on that trip which usually occurs once a month and on that trip we usually switch out and I take the car and he drives the truck to work.
