Default Re: Small-car interest falls with gas prices

Gee... What a shock... Gasoline drops by $1.00/gallon and Americans forget (overnight) just how fragile and limited our supply chain really is.

The thing these SUV wastrels seem to miss is that the gasoline prices always restabilize at a *higher* price than before the crisis. Sure, $2.49/gallon is better than $4.19/gallon, but it's a lot higher than the $1.69/gallon it was three months ago.

A car with good FE (hybrid or otherwise) is always a logical choice if you want to reduce your exposure to price volitility of an essential product that is becoming increasingly scarce.

Hope is like a candle held against the night.
