Great to know that teh prices have come way down.
And fuel use has not increased as a result of the lower prices. Many people have replaced the older less efficient cars with ones that get 30 MPG +++. My cousin bought a Ford C-Max with 38 MPG!
Even those who traded in cars with 25 - 30 MPG are buying more fuel efficient models, and now you can select from many used cars in the 25-30 MPG range! Even truck buyers are now able to buy a Ecoboost 2.7L pickup with a rated MPG in the 22 MPG range, and Ecodiesels with 28 MPG!
Happy Camping!
