Do what makes the most sense financially. It might take some math but it's possible the money saved on better gas mileage doesn't compensate for getting rid of some debt. I'd probably keep whichever one I was closest to owning, even if it meant a $4000 loan to pay off on a car I no longer own.
Unfortunately, no car is not an option for us. We'll be in the country - so we'll need some form of non-bike transportation. We'll try to use it as little as possible, though! We are shopping for a bike trailer, too.

Fuel savings is $450 to $625 per year between the Prius and the Matrix (depending on gas prices). We owe less on the Prius, but it's also worth more to sell it. Plus, anything we make on the sale will go towards paying off the Matix. As much as I'd rather keep the Prius, I think keeping the Matrix makes the most sense.
