High oil and gas prices are crushing car sales right now. Auto industries are getting a brutal wake-up call that their shitty cars and trucks that don't get more than 20mpg highway aren't ever going to sell. I see this all as a blessing in disguise because I've never in my life seen more Hybrids, mopeds or motorcycles on the road. I was just pricing a Hybrid Camry on Carmax and a day later it was gone. Honda, Ford and Toyota all tell me there is a 4 month waiting list for a Hybrid anything. Yeah trucks and trains use oil but there are trains by GE now that get 300mpg and semis getting more and more efficient with their cleaner burning engines.
Not everyone has the luxury of living withing walking distance to work or public transportation as not everyone loves the hustle and bustle of city life. It's starting to trickle down all the way to big oil that eventually, big business will start to say f-u.
- if a person doesn't like city life or works far away from home, then they need to deal with the prices.mrdobolina
- that's a pretty simplistic view. there are other factors that govern where people live and why they do. school systems? spouse's work?johndiggity
- it is a choice, john.mrdobolina
- I really question that a train gets 300mpg... maybe as a quota per person transported. no way that's total.monNom
