"Like a lot of people, you may be watching the price at the pump soar and wondering whether it's time to dump your current, less-than-efficient SUV, truck or car.
It's tempting to simply haul your 15 miles-per-gallon vehicle down to the dealership and drive out in something that gets 30 mpg or more. But that may not be smart, at least from a financial point of view." What do you think? Does your family own one? If so, What conversations are you having about trading it in?

me personally i'd keep the gas hog in the long run it would be cheaper and besides i think bigger is better but gas is gas and cars run on it
i would trade in cuase i am looking for the futer and not the present point in time if i have to lose a little money to get a car that will save me in the furter than i will live with that choes but since it does less than a reggler car and is better for the enviorment that means when i have kids their enviorment will be a little better witch is good for me to spend a little more to make it healther for the futer and the enviorment my kids deserver to live in a clean place and not suffer for what we are doing right now
I think i would keep it because big trucks is a personal favorite of mines and i would keep it also because of the cheapness of it and even though gas is very unreasonable right now I'm able to risk it to ride good and I think i can manage.
If I had a gas hog car i would trade it in for something that has a better gas mileage because how expensive gas is right now noone knows how it will be in the future it could just get worse. I think that it would be a good idea to get a car better on gas until gas prices drop to trade it back and get the gas hog back.
In the end I feel like it all evens out because if you trade your old car you will not get a lot of money for it then you have to pay even more the new car with better gas mileage but now you have a new car payment to start all over with.
In a way I would and in a would i would not because what if i need to ship some lumber or even some mulch douring the summer i wont have enough space if i trade them in. but in the other instance I think that it would be a good idea to get a car better on gas until gas prices drop to trade it back and get the gas hog back.
I personally think i would keep my gas hog, even tho it is very expensive right now, in the end it will even out, that is the gas prices will even out. So i think you would be better of keeping your gas hog!!!!
i would trade it in and get sumthin smaller cuz it takes alot to fill it up
I would trade in my gas giuzzling car in any day... its really a pain when 60 dollars doesnt fill up your tank and thatit will all be gone with in 4 days
I think you should have a car with better gas mileage because it is a lot cheaper than buying a suv or big truck and spending way more money on gas
I think having a car with better gas mileage is more important then what the car looks like. If you have a big car with bad gas mileage you will end up spending a lot more money in gas than you would of having a car that don't use as much gas as much.
