Yea, "cheap gas"
People are increasingly driving larger lower MPG vehicles and not cars I guess partly because they perceive gas to be cheap. Really. I don't think it's ever been cheap to keep fuel in a motor vehicle ...

I don't think it's ever been cheap to keep fuel in a motor vehicle do you? Even as low as $2 something per gallon it can easily cost $50/week and much more. Not cheap to me. I think we've been tricked to be happy now because for awhile it was around $4. Also, who knows what it will cost in 1 year, 8 years? No one. I do have a motor home but my car will continue to be a compact that gets over 30 MPG.
There was a story on this the other day. For many people, getting 23mpg with a truck or SUV is better than their old car that got 20mpg. They don't really consider the new truck to a new car.
For me, I had the SUV because I was hauling dogs and kids everywhere. Then I got my TT. Then I was taking the bus to work so I was barely driving the SUV. Now, I have the FnR. I don't need a second vehicle (have the clipper) so I keep driving the SUV until they bring out the Dodge Dakota with better mpg and a tow capability that can handle the FnR.
