    It’s perfectly ok that some vehicles are bigger than yours. You aren’t small and weak just because your car is a practical size. I have a “right sized” car and it saves a ton of money on gas, truck nuts, “I did that” stickers and bud light.

      I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. It isn’t the most fuel efficient vehicle on the earth but it’s pretty good among vehicles that can handle the terrible dirt/gravel/unimproved roads I’m often on. I’ve owned a couple of big trucks, but I used them hard every week. I don’t need one now. If that changes, I’ll buy another one. Some of those big trucks are actually pretty efficient these days, although speed affects that a lot. “I can’t drive 55” but it would save a lot of fuel if you could.
