KW> I drive a lot (50+ miles a day) and am looking for a car that can hold 4

   It really boils down to personal preference.     
      
   Are these highway miles?  Suburbans get at a solid 17mpg on highway.  Durangos   
   get slightly better, but are not as large.   
      
   I have found that if you drive mostly highway, MPG shouldn't be as much of a   
   factor.  Here is what I average - MPG wise on my trips to work on the various   
   vehicles we have.   
      
   2002 Monte Carlo:  29.3mpg   
   2001 Dodge Durango:  18mpg   
   2012 Charger:  28.5mpg   
   2012 Lexus ES-350:  27mpg   
   2003 Harley - Dyna Wide Glide:  53mpg
