Is this a bad time to trade?
Is electric the answer?

Thank goodness for golfcarts in TV.
No, yes, no.

Even a gas guzzler should get about 20 MPG on the open road. So, a 5,000 mile trip will cost about $1,000 for gas, (5,000/20 × $4/gallon). Not worth considering buying a new vehicle. I don't think electric vehicles make any sense at all, especially for long trips.
