I now have a lovely 2006 Saturn Vue that fits me well, will haul what I need, and gets yuckie mileage.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Happy trails,</DIV> <DIV>Dave Davis, RPT</DIV> <DIV> <SPAN style="width:100%;height:2px;border-bottom:1px solid rgb(212,208,200); border-top:1px solid rgb(128,128,128);background-color:black;overflow:hidden; margin:8px 0px;"></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV>From: "Fenton Murray" <fmurray@cruzio.com><BR>Reply-To: Pianotech List <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>To: <pianotech@ptg.org><BR>Subject: Date: Thu, 27 Apr 2006 21:41:00 -0700<BR><BR>List,<BR>The Volvo wagon has 165K and is eating too much money between gas and <BR>maintenance. BTW, you better be charging at least as much as your mechanic. <BR>I'm researching my next vehicle and wondering if a Toyota Prius could <BR>actually work. Naturally, critical is the ability to transport a grand or <BR>upright action. I would be so grateful for any techs using one to let me <BR>know how they like it, can you fit an action in there on top of your tools?  <BR>I've looked in them and they seem pretty big, not like my Volvo wagon. But, <BR>I am willing to scale down some and I sure could dig 45 MPG. Or, any other <BR>vehicles that get high mileage, second choice for me right now is a Subaru <BR>Outback, great car but more dough and only mid 20's MPG.<BR>Fenton Murray, RPT<BR><A href="http://www.murrayspianotuning.com/" target=_blank><FONT color=#0000ff>www.MurraysPianoTuning.com</FONT></A><BR></DIV></div></body></html>
