Your experience agress with mine.

My vehicles range from two Geo Metro's @50mpg, to a Chrysler Grand Caravan, A GMC 2500 Turbodiesel truck, Isuzu Pickup, and a few farm tractors. Each is used for a purpose. I only put about 6,000 miles per year on my diesel. I use the Geo's for every day beaters. The Isuzu for daily farm use. The Grand Caravan for family trips.

Each according to his means and each according to his needs in my case.
