What vehicle do you drive to auctions?

For those of you who have multiple vehicles and considering gas prices these days, do you drive your more efficient vehicle to the auctions?

Always take the truck so we can bring home at least part of a unit then return later with a trailer if needed.

I drive a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan. This way I've got decent gas mileage, and cover from stormy days for the stuff I can bring home with me.

I drive my Mustang to auctions for both the better MPG and because it's easier to park. Some of the storage sites around here don't have a lot of parking space to spare, so it's easier to slip a mid-size car in instead of a van and trailer.

I drive my Honda Odyssey because it gets decent gas mileage and I can put valuables inside.  I have a trailer I can pull if needed.  I don't tend to go to far for my auctions, its the advantage of living in a big city with dozens of auctions a week.

I grab the station box truck to save on gas and I call haul everything home. Why pay for gas when its free?

It really depends on how far I am driving and if I know the sizes of the units. Close is just the car or sometimes the truck. If I am going a distance I will take the truck and trailer. If the auction is far and I know the units are small I usually just take the truck.

I usually  take a 05 ford truck.  We also have a 2011 camero convertable,  someday I will drive that just to act like the peple in the shows...

Usually my smaller car because most of the auctions I go to are within 5 miles of my house, if I win a unit, then I grab my truck and trailer. 8)
