The creature comforts are similiar if not better. Anything else - we all pile into the truck. So to say your going to drive a 'real vehcle' I say go ahead it's your $1500.00 a year.
Savings is compared 18mpg vs. 38mpg
man... I was joking, I carpool to work with a guy that drives a sunfire, I only drive MY vehical (f-150, not explorer) on the weekends. I pay him $780 a year, $15 a week, for gas. Then I use a little around town on the weekends.
