<prompt> Human: Hey all, I currently have a job that is about 80 miles round trip from my job. Make the trip 5x a week. I have a 2014 truck that gets around 18 mpg on the highway. Vehicle is paid off. I am wondering if it is financially prudent to trade this in for a more fuel efficient car. Something around 30 mpg on the highway. I believe my current vehicle is worth around 16k. If I go through a dealer I know I will not get this asking price so I will lose some money there. I will also lose some to sales tax in purchasing a new vehicle. But with a 30 mpg vehicle I figure I can save 1500 in gas every year. Should I look into a new vehicle? What year and model? Edit: By new I mean different. Does not have to be 20172018.  <response>: There are plenty of fuel-efficient models that youll be able to buy and drive for 10 years thatll cost less than 12,000. Youll just have to do some digging. Id start with Honda Civics and Civic Hybrids, Toyota Priuses Prii?, and Honda Insights that are 5 yrs old.
