I drove almost 30k miles last year in my Trailblazer and I still didn't hit $500 a month in fuel costs.
I have an 02 with 194k miles BTW.
True, but he'd still be doubling his fuel costs. The more rational move here is to take the truck, then sell it for the $9,500 he claims it's worth, and use that money to pay down the loan on the Kia.
That gets rid of the whole issue of being "upside down" on the Kia, effectively lowers his monthly payment, and leaves him in a newer vehicle that is still covered by a warranty and also gets better gas mileage.
