It has made a large hit on our American Express bill. We are running 5 Suburbans and a diesel dually pulling a 14k lb trailer all over the country. Each Sub averages 50k miles a year and the Dually gets about 40k a year put on it. Gas prices are tearing me up right now.

Thomas, if you're running that kind of miles each year, you may want to get something smaller or more fuel efficient either way.

We are working on that plan, but it doesn't make money sense right now to dump the SUV's and take a HUGE loss on them to get something newer and more fuel efficient. It will be a process over the next 12 months to get them all traded out. But for the time being... it sucks nuts.
