2002 Ford Windstar

I don't doubt that this car is very safe as they claim although I've never been in a situation in which I could really appreciate the 5 star safety rating. One thing I did not appreciate though, is how fast this thing guzzles gas. I realize that vans and SUVs in general have this problem but it has gotten to a point where insurance is not my main concern in terms of draining my money. Since the Earth is running out of oil and gas prices are only going up, I would advise against getting this vehicle
