The money saved on gas won't offset the cost of the vehicle.

Some people don't mind going into significant debt to drive a new car....
Regarless of higher fuel efficiency! Sooner or later the debt catches up to them and they expect Uncle Sam to bail them out .... not a good move!!!

Some people who are yelling about gas prices and saying they are broke are just trying to keep it in the news because they are part of the ones profiting from our misfortune.

For some people it makes sense to buy a new higher nog vehicle, for others not so much. The good thing is that there are individuals out there who have that option right now- it helps the auto workers stay employed... that is good news!

Truck sales is whats driving the market not cars. People want to be safe more than they worry about mileage. Evidentally those that are buying the cruze havent heard about the 400,000 vehicle recall they issued.

It's LIBERALS who want higher gas prices. Obama's lap dog advisor Chung wants to see $5.00 gasoline before the end of his term. They feel that will spur conversion to alternative fuels.

Install a new Congress with conservatives at the helm and we will see lower gas prices. Until Obama is out, and the congress is totally Republican, we will have more prices skyrocketing.
It won't matter who is president as long as the people with the power are Conservatives instead of Leftists.
