Road Tripping Yaris... or should I just buy a van?

Relative to most of the world where socialist governments tax the hell out of it.

However, to us, it's still very expensive because up until 2008, we paid far less for gas. Half the price of today. The US average today is $3.47/gal. In the late '90's, we were still under $1 at some points.

Cross country trips in a van will cost a fortune. That said, I wouldn't sleep in a Yaris. I guess a van makes sense if you really don't want to stop at cheap motels.

No one in this world should be paying a lot for gas. There's more oil than we know what to do with. It's just that governments aren't allowing for the full exploration/drilling of it.
