I know the Xterra isn't the nightmare that a Hummer or Excursion is gas-wise, but you're doing the right thing. No, I don't drive a Prius, but I tried one out, and am still feel a little guilty about not getting it, but my new car does get 30mpg, which isn't too bad. And the Prius was just too small. There is no shame in a minivan. We must shake the stigma that there is something wrong with these cars. There's nothing wrong with wagons, either. Some are quite cool, like Audis and Saabs. BTW, and speaking of wagons, I have always wondered if the Family Truckster from National Lampoon's Vacation still exists. Does anyone know where it is or if it's in one piece? I would love to see it. -martin
