No, not going to sell my Excursion.. Need it to pull my trailers and haul my motrocycles to the track and desert.

But it's definitely going to be doing quite a bit of just sitting.

Picked up a 1991 Nissan NX... According to fuel economy.gov, this thing gets like 35 miles to the gallon. I do alot of 120 mile round trips that were eating my wallet alive with the Ex.

Nice, at least ur keepin the x. BTW how much did u pay for her?

 

140k on the clock, picked it up for $1400
Never been crashed. Body and intereior show 140k miles and 17 years of use, but otherwise relatively clean.
With gas going the way it is, I could probably drive this thing for the next 3 years, put 60k on it and still sell it for a grand.

 

I am looking to do the same thing, I am on the look out for a daily driver. I cant wait to park the X and only use it for towing. The $400.00 per month in fuel is killing me!!

How much do u guys usually travel in a week?

 

I do 75 miles round trip to work everyday plus running around during lunch break. Add in weekend driving and I can hit 600 miles a week easy.

So u go through a tank and a half in a week. I also travel alot in to (only summer months)

 

I was doing the 120 mile round trip a few times a week, I've cut it down to once or twice now. Plus a little driving around town, I am doing roughly 300 miles a week or so.
Not anywhere what it used to be, but it still is hurting the wallet too much.

 

I do the same thing. I drive 110 miles round trip every day to work. My work car is an '07 Subaru Legacy. AWD and about 29 MPG. I only drive my Ex on the weekends or towing my TT during the summer. I drove it this past weekend for the first time in three weeks. Gas is way too high to drive the beast every day.
