S.U.V's found abandon
I really feel sorry for the miss lead, that bought those big gas
guzzlers and S.U.V.'s like the hummer,Tahoe,Escalade, Dodge Ram's, F-150..etc and now are unable to save for their retirements and childens educations because the families income is being burned in the gas tank. Wait, it won't be long and you will finds these vehicles abandon on the side of the freeway!!!!!!! Sales are beginning to slide. I have a honda CR-V and the prices at the tank are killing me. |
Re: S.U.V's found abandon
Oh yeah, I cannot imagine how people can afford to spend say 70 dollars
a week to fill up their big Chevy Truck. At my last job our chevy 2500 pickup took 25 gallons to fill up. My Civic normally costed me 15 to fill up, now its 25. Damn are government is screwing us over on gas prices, and these high 75 cent a gallon taxes. (im sure they are really more than that) |

(im sure they are really more than that) Americans have a much greater level of disposable income than almost any other western country. At the uk prices of 2 years ago, it would ahve cost you about $55US to fill up your civic. Right now europes over $6 for a US gallon. Americans just need to get their heads out of their collective arses, stop whining, and live with it. I mean, when you elect an oil president, of course oil prices will rise. Duh. its an utter no brainer. Grow up, get over it, welcome to the real world. |

Exactly what would a non oil president have done differently that would have kept prices lower? Leonard |

Re: S.U.V's found abandon
I think most of those who can afford $35k or more for a monster suv
aren't going to care about an extra grand or two a year for gas. If a grand meant that much to them, they would've purchased a 30 mpg vehicle to begin with . |

Re: S.U.V's found abandon
Those people cannot afford SUVs to begin with. Most of them take out
60 month, 72 month, or even 96 month loans to pay for them. Rising gas prices will stretch many to the limit (not that they're not already there anyway), and they will default on their car loans. You overestimate the intelligence of the average consumer. |

One of my co-workers has a workout partner at his gym who's a sales manager at a GMC/Pontiac/Buick dealership. He said that roughly 95% of the people that purchase SUVs at that dealership finance anywhere from 95% of the sale price to 120% when they're "upside down" with their trade-ins. The guy said that it just amazes him on a daily basis "how financially f'ed up these people are--yet they're wanting to buy a ~$38,000.00 SUV that gets HORRIBLE gas mileage." He said that there were "a few exceptions where someone will plop down cash for one of these beasts". Ron M. |
