I had a minivan but needed an SUV. I haul people, cargo and pull trailers. |
We've had this discussion before... from How are gas prices affecting you?

Still, I've managed to get a hp to mpg ratio that's probably one of the best available. In the world. Why? Because I'm the only one who's unwilling to sacrifice gas for horsepower. The Eclipse turbo gets 28 mpg stock with 210 hp. I've added an additional 110 hp to that without losing a single mpg.

It doesn't matter what kind of torque, hauling you need... see you need to change. It's not acceptable that you have your needs and found a way to meet them.
I've labeled it "I need this..." and "other people need to change, not me..."
