Default Re: Do you think this will lower the price of gas?

The large 4WD SUV persona is what really amazes me today.
Every dealer lot around here is filled with them,even with 1/2 off sticker and looking to go the way of the DoDo.
Once part of every familes DNA for the last 15 years.So much so that the Govt.threatened to step in & pull the reins back on SUV production in the mid 1990's,wanting automakers to offer more of a balance of fuel efficient vehicles in each of their line ups.
The automakers lobbied hard against that and won,basically telling the Govt. this is America so mind their own business and let the American consumer tell them what to do.
Well we have & literally overnight,with SUV sales/production at an all time low and factories retooling as I type.
I swear I saw the salesman who sold me mine flipping burgers yesterday.
