car insurance nashville tn

Needing some advice on fuel efficient vehicles with the factors of insurance and safety.?

Ok, at the moment i own a 2007 dodge ram 1500 5.7 hemi V8. it gets around 12 MPG city and 13.8 MPG highway. I just recently got accepted to NADC in nashville TN. for where i live its around a 6 hour drive one way. So gas to come home to visit family and go back will be absolutly outrageous. And i love having a truck as opposed to a four banger. (4 cyl car) and ive read and heard that a diesel truck, preferably a 2500 dodge, get around 19 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. i know that diesel is a little more expensive, but if i get one of the two small cars ive considered, a honda civic si, or a cobalt ss tc, i know insurance will be higher than with that of a truck. anyone with personal experience with one of these vehicles if u dont mind, please message me at vthokie4me1@yahoo.com on messenger. or leave a post on here. thanks alot.

It seems that you are trying to balance owning a small vehicle with owning a truck. It is a little like the apples and oranges thing.

Most people would own a truck because they need one and can afford to pay the extra expenses associated with a boxy vehicle designed to haul loads. If they need a cheaper vehicle for commuting they might get a smaller vehicle.

It sounds like you don’t want to give up the bigger vehicle. There are cheaper alternatives. I think the Ram is one of the worst vehicles for gas mileage. The Sprinter is much better and it is a diesel. I would suggest you haul down whatever you need and then sell the vehicle or start a hauling business on the weekends to make the vehicle pay for itself.

No matter what exactly are we planning to buy, all of us have a tendency to discover the cheapest possible solution for our requirements. So, the very same applies to purchase Automobile Insurance.
