Big SUVs have been heavily discounted by dealers. It's supply and demand, no one—at least no one sensible—wants them. So you've got this person who says to himself, "Well, I can buy that TailGrazer (or Exhibitionist or GM Ginormous) for $38,000 instead of $45,000, and gas prices have been much lower—so I think I'll go for it!"
Well, aside from the fact that the people buying and driving those monsters are helping to destroy the planet, they're going to find that they were short-sighted. Out my window I can see a gas station, with its price sign, so I can keeps tabs on the price of gas. A couple days ago the price went up 20¢-- and it was Monday, not Tuesday, when they usually raise their prices. It's up to $2.659 for regular now. I bought gas last week for $2.24, and it's only been a few weeks since it was $2.11.
Now that we're in sight of $3 a gallon again, can $4 be far behind? Woe be to him who thinks for a moment, It won't happen again.
