Hello,
How do I figure out what is best in regards to my Ford F-150? I own it, but don't want to rick trying to sell it if gas prices get up to the $7-8 dollar range or higher. It only gets 14/18 mpg. I think I can get into something like a Hyundai Elantra or Ford Focus and still put about $6000 into my pocket, plus a gas savings of around $100 on a normal commuting month (no major trips). There is a balance of happy and being financially responsible. I like driving. Anyway, with having a nice bank account and driving a truck pretty much a draw, and moving toward rather having the money, would you trade down? It seems like an awful waste of money to have only driven the truck a few years. If gas was still under $2 I wouldn't think about trading it in.
