Hell I'm all for this, going to lower the prices on the newer SUV's by a ton, going to be great when I replace my 97 Grand Cherokee in a few years.

That's what I'm thinking, too. We will have to replace ours in the next few years and plan on buying another Tahoe or Yukon.

I did the math on that a long time ago. When gas goes up, so will the little cars. SUV prices drop. A 3 yr old used SUV gets pretty cheap, cheap enough to be able to afford a lot of gas.

In the meantime, I'll keep driving my old 'dinosaurs', V-8 engines, heavy, big enough to haul the whole family, or me, equipment, and 30 days supplies.

At the price I paid for them, I can afford a lot of fuel.

Many here will tout the benefits of these little vehicles, and for them, they might be fine.

I'd never want my family trying to get to the next town in one in a normal North Dakota Winter. They'd never get me out to a drill site. Fuel is cheap. Funerals are not.

your mileage may vary...
