Honda Civic is surprising
Anytime the price of gasoline rises significantly, many prospective car
buyers think maybe they should veer away from the big chug-a-luggers

But, most people around here in mid GA drive full-sized pickups or XL
SUVs -- with one person. And, the pick-ups are not work trucks as a rule.
