<P>I work part time in the Auction House and see those trucks sell like hotcakes.</P> <P>SUV sales are steady. The nicer ones sell.</P> <P>We are getting Hybrids into the lot and frankly Im being somewhat converted to some of them. I prefer high performance vehicles with big power; gas cost be damned. But these Hybrids are slowly coming on to the scene and are getting pretty durn good.</P> <P>Other vehicles like the 300C with the massive V8 and big power will gut itself and run on 4 instead of 8 on the freeway when it senses a chance to save a little gas. I see this in some trucks as well.</P> <P>I tried hard to stay out of the thread but wanted to state that we as a Nation are going to have to divorce ourselves from Gasoline and Desiel for on road use. Now is the time to do it because it will take us decades to adapt and I dont think we have unlimited oil in the earth.</P> <P>Where I am there are alot of people with big trucks and large cars. They hardly slowed down during the 3.00 gas last year and show no signs of conserving or curtailing the speed or daily use. I think when we get to 4.50 gas and beyond we will start to feel it as a State and perhaps Nation as a whole.</P>
