    Yeah, I just upgraded to an Xterra, which gets 5-7 mpg better than I was getting before... For perspective, that is a 50% improvement. I'm excited.

    Thats what got me to buy my mini cooper. It gets 38-40mpg (42mpg driving in the mountains to work) whereas my xterra gets 13 on a good day. The gas savings alone was enough to pay for the mini!

    Always nice when your pay goes up! I got a raise (hourly) with my promotion...but the new position equates to a pay cut because I won't be deploying nearly as much. The quality of life boost will be worth it, though...I've been gone the last 3 Christmases, 2 of 3 Thanksgivings, and almost all other holidays and family birthdays. So I know how you feel. Congrats on the bump, though!

    I've looked at Xterras, but since I have the Tundra with a topper I need something with way better mileage. I've looked at Minis too, but for the money I'd rather get a used Volkswagen Jetta or Sportwagon with the TDI engine, or if they ever actually make it, an Elio. Something just for commuting that gets great mileage and doesn't use up the funds I need to build my workshop and buy my tractor.
