    I just traded in my 2011 ford f150 crew cab ecoboost truck in yesterday. I was wasting so much money on this truck in fuel cost. I was filling up 3 times per week and I hated it everytime. I will miss the truck and it come in handy every once in a while. Before I was getting 16.5mpg and now I am getting triple that. I bought 2012 prius III tss edition it was the coolest prius I have seen. I will need to take it back to turn off the reverse beeping and seat belt minder.

    Pay for all this gas to Look Macho at the expense of my family or Get a Prius and spend the money on vacation or entertainment for the kids.

    You chose wisely my friend!!

    How do people afford what they afford in fuel costs?
    My friend just let out in casual conversation that to fill his diesel pick-up routinely costs $100 or more. This is currently the only vehicle he owns.

    I don't see how anyone keeps a full sized pick-up as a daily driver.
