A couple I know had an Escalade...The wife later got a job that involved

Surprised? Did she expect the tank to get significantly better mileage than
the numbers on the window sticker? What an idiot.
Agreed.
In my case, I was well aware of the gas-guzzling reputation of the big block
V8 I bought. I'm not complaining. Of course, if the pickup had to do more
than 3.6 miles, one way, to-and-from work, I'm sure it would go away in favor
of a less expensive vehicle.
Then I'd have to sell the travel trailer. Oh, the horror... the horror!
I have NEVER understood travel trailers. For less than the money people
sink into them, they could probably stay at the Four Seasons.
