    Ooooh, I think I will buy two now that gas is so cheap. It couldn't possibly ever go up again. :madgrin:

    I better trade my '08 Prius in for a gas guzzling Hummer! Gas prices won't ever gp up again

    YEAH RIGHT - I will NEVER, EVER trade in my Prius. This car continues to amaze me on a daily basis. I just filled the tank up for $10. This is better mpg than my bike gets.

    Yeah, it's ridiculous. I kept prodding the guy at question for current or past(06-up) tahoe/surburban owners - MY350Z.COM Forums to buy either a minivan or a crossover but if you look at post 31 at question for current or past(06-up) tahoe/surburban owners - Page 2 - MY350Z.COM Forums, he ends up getting an uber-monstrosity, a Yukon XL (extended length). :mad:

    I despise monstrosity class (curb weight >5000 lb. SUVs such as Yukons, Tahoes and Expeditions) on the road as itis. Extended length ones and ultra-heavy ones like Navigators, Suburbans, Escalade ESVs and H2 really piss me off.
