Supply and demand at work. Maybe we'll get to see what happens at $3/gallon.

With all the talk of NRST and repealing the 16th Amendment, perhaps we should replace the income tax with a sales tax on motor fuel. :-)

As for hybrids, I agree with the Nissan CEO:

Nissan Chief: Hybrid Cars Make No Sense

Bump that.

I could afford gasoline at $4 a gallon if the Government didn't steal 30% of my income.

It is interesting that some folks get all-a-twitter when the price of gasoline goes up a nickle, but don't give a hoot when the Dems want to raise their taxes a few thousand dollars a year... unbelievable.

Not all pickups get bad mileage. Mine might be a freak but my GMC Sierra extended cab (2000 model) gets 26 to 28 mpg on the highway. It was getting 26 regularly until I put a hard bed covers on it. Now I get 28 or more. I drive I-75 to work and back daily and I refuse to sacrifice safety to get better mileage.

Matani also says the company reports 9,500 buyers nationally on a year long waiting list for the Lexus hybrid SUV. The RX 400 h will arrive in dealer showrooms in April.

Including the two at the top of the article, that's 9002 new car buyers this year, 9000 clearly don't have money, or gasoline issues...

What a dishonest article...There's talk of Ford employee layoffs...Many 1st and 2nd tier suppliers are and have gone bankrupt...
