Truck and SUV sales rising as gas prices drop - Dec. 22, 2008

Sigh.... I bet some of these people who are "saving money" by buying trucks and SUVs will be griping and wanting to sell again when the economy gets better causing gas prices to rise.

Ooooh, I think I will buy two now that gas is so cheap. It couldn't possibly ever go up again.

I better trade my '08 Prius in for a gas guzzling Hummer! Gas prices won't ever gp up again

YEAH RIGHT - I will NEVER, EVER trade in my Prius. This car continues to amaze me on a daily basis. I just filled the tank up for $10. This is better mpg than my bike gets.

I despise monstrosity class (curb weight >5000 lb. SUVs such as Yukons, Tahoes and Expeditions) on the road as itis. Extended length ones and ultra-heavy ones like Navigators, Suburbans, Escalade ESVs and H2 really piss me off.
