[NSRCA-discussion] Small Car - 2 m plane hauling

[Jerry Stebbins]

Jim, he has a point. My Buick gets 24-27 on the road, and 17-19 with my trailer. You know how big it is--can hold 4 planes generator, and all the stuff.An Al. one would even do better. Just got to get the aero close and it doesn't haul it down too bad.

  Jim,

  I wonder if there is a high mileage (diesel??) small car or truck out there that can pull a 2000 lb trailer.  You will get a good mileage every day going to work.  During the weekend, you won't get a good mileage (unless is a diesel) but you get the advantage of having a trailer to hold all your planes.  Maybe the combination of small/light trailer could be a good solution.  

  Good luck,

    Hi Guys,

     

    I commute about 75 miles a day, then do about 100 miles of driving a weekend for practice so I am on the road a lot.  I am thinking to down sizing one of my cars.  At this point, I'm thinking about these three:

     

      1.. Scion XB, 28, hwy mileage 
      2.. Honda Fit, 34, hwy mileage 
      3.. Chevy HHR, 30 , hwy mileage 
      4.. $ these around $16,000
     

    Here is a nice website that allows you to do car by car comparisons.  http://scionbuyersguide.theautochannel.com/compare_details.php?car1=21667&car2=22687&car3=22711&car4=

     

    OR - is something like the Dodge Grand Caravan the way do go, and that is the biggest bang for the buck?  

     

    Any ideas would be great.  

    Thanks,

    Jim
