2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo V6 4x4 - 2000 Toyota Solara 4 Cylinder

I purchased the Jeep a little over 2 years ago used with 28k on it. I purchased it because going home (central Idaho) generally means driving over dirt roads and in the winter, snow packed roads. I plan to live there eventually and need the options the vehicle offers. Although I LOATHE 80+ dollars it takes to fill it up, there was NO WAY I could have forecast the idiocracy behind the gas inflation.

We recently purchased the Solara due to the theft of our 2008 Toyota Camry. Although the Solara does well on gas - it was NOTHING compared to the 35+ mpg that the Camry got. The investigation is still pending on the Camry and we couldn't wait for the settlement to buy a new car.
