Hey, leave my Taurus wagon alone. I would like to go back to an AWD
Astro/Safari, but the cost of gas is the problem, but the height, the
space and the AWD makes all the difference.
the difference in mileage between the two is double. $25.00CDN and
$45.00CDN for the same distance. Can't argue with the wife (Accounting
Dept.) with those figures. :-D
You have a Good Day now,

I thought of that too. But if I get an extra 5, even 10 mpg it still
won't make up for the payment on the rig.
I love these uses Taurus wagons. I've had two of them go 230,000
miles now with nothing major. Oh yeah, one got an engine at 220,000
or so but that was my fault for running it low on oil.
Pick them up used with 75,000 to 100,000 all day long. Usually for
less than $8k too. Cheap insurance, decent mileage, easy to get the
ladder on etc. My only problem now is that I have too many towers up
in the sticks and can't get to them without whacking the bottom of the
car all of the time on the rocks. (I DO know that changing an oil pan
in one runs $500!)
I'm gonna have to find an suv for my next rig. Probably a Cherokee or
Durango. Not sure yet. I want a QUIET rig this time. That's the
worst thing about the Taurus around here. The roads are rough and the
car is awful.
laters,

I don't believe the gas prices will come back down to below 2.00 any
time soon.
So we're shopping for new high gas mileage vehicles.

Hi All,
Just got our $700 gas bill for last month. That's just MY driving.
No employees. And I don't even drive an suv!
I'm thinking of a $20 per install fuel surcharge. Kinda like what
the concrete company did to me last year at this time.
What are people that have large spread out networks doing?
If we slow down on the installs it'll not be a big deal. But if it
kicks into overdrive again in a month or so (pretty normal for us)
this summer is gonna be ugly.
thoughts?
