The only downside is that the job is 76 miles (one way) away from my house. We are thinking hard about buying a Prius.
Are you going to be commuting over Monument Hill? If so, 4WD is worthwhile.
My trip from Lakewood CO to Yellowstone two summers ago with my aunt and uncle was in their Escape hybrid. Fourteen hundred miles with four adults, a full load of luggage, mostly freeway driving with some significant up- and down-grades, and we averaged 31.5 MPG.
Ahem. If Bryar leaves MCR, it will be because he cannot play anymore. He loves that band, he credits it with saving his life, and he is a loyal motherfucker. Since I don't want Bobert to be in pain and unable to do the thing he loves the most, he cannot be unable to play, and therefore he is not leaving the band. So say I.
I hate to say this, because it was kind of traumatizing for me, but our voting saga would also make a pretty good This American Life.
OK, and since the ONLY TAL I have ever listened to (I know, I'm a philistine) was in the car the other day, and it was the producers (writers?) doing a show about "Shows Our Parents Thought Would Make Good Shows And We Laughed At Them", and they kept talking about how all their friends and parents would always be like "This would make a good episode!" and really it wouldn't, I find this extra funny.

Yes, although I'm not sure there are any good mileage cars with 4WD. But we will keep our Homda Pilot (my favorite car ever) as our 2nd car and I can drive that on predicted snowy days.

That's right up there in awesomeness with my first Buffy episode being "Dopplegangland" and Jessica's being "Superstar." Meta mirrorverse for the win!
My first Buffy was Restless!
Low-30s seems pretty good highway MPG for a 4WD SUV to me. I commuted 30 miles from the Springs to Elbert County for seven years in an '84 Toyota Tercel wagon, and I got about 32 MPG in 2WD, and 28 MGP when I had to switch into 4WD.
I'm still earwormed with the "TION" song from the Electric Company.
