Reply #75: A college student who moves twice a year [View All]

can rent a truck when she/he moves. and drive a Geo or other small, fuel-efficient vehicle the rest of the year.

Hubby and I have a full-size pick-up -- our only vehicle -- because we use it in our business. We drive only when necessary and are trying to figure out a way to replace the truck with a more fuel-efficient vehicle that will still service our hauling needs. Then again, we may keep the truck if it looks like we'll have to live in it, given the current state of the economy.

Our daughter-in-law is one of those who has a monster truck just because it makes her feel "big" on the highway. She has no other use for it. Maybe she'll wake up now that she has a child, but I'm not holding my breath.
