If you have a question, you should ask me.

The answer is easy. We have three children and live at the end of a minimally maintained road on top of a hill in an area that gets frequent snow.

A honda accord would be useless to us. She used to buy over 200 gallons of gasoline a month in her old SUV. She now drives a hybrid SUV that gets over twice the MPG.

You’re right, if you don’t mind driving an econobox, a hybrid does not make sense. We needed 4 wheel drive, room for five plus two dogs and did not want to go broke filling the tank.

Honestly, if you did not believe me, why did you not address your post to me?

I didn’t ask you because I wasn’t interested in your particular situation (SUV or not) I only commented to the person that mentioned it was about 3300 miles and that was something I could readily relate to....I sure as heck couldn’t have related to saving $400/month because I don’t spend that much in the first place....sorry you were offended but my thoughts were elsewhere from why/what/where of your choice.
