Because gas is about to get REALLY expensive. actually, thats not entirely true, but the price of oil has jumped significantly in the last day and a half, and it will probably raise prices at the pump before this whole thing (lybia, egypt etc) is done.

Oh yeah, I'm waiting for that too. It's funny, even after that last oil shock a few years ago, I still see folks driving around in huge SUV's and pick-ups. People never learn.

Hmmm...if you guys are right prices on SUV's and huge pick-up trucks should fall, I think I am on to something here, now if we could find a nation that is in need for used cheap SUV's/pick-ups we should be in business, lets turn OTD into a secret car ring, ????, and profit.

I think some people just don't believe gas can get real expensive. I filled up today at 3.15/gal which is about average for the area, what I've heard was it'll be $4.00 by the end of spring when people are getting ready to travel and $5.00 by the end of this summer.

We pay around 1,30 euros for a motherfucking liter of gas and you guys are compaining that you'll have to pay 4-5 $/gallon (3,75 liters)?Oh, and it's not just branding costs because we call it liter.

Get to your senses.And give me your pick-up trucks.

This is true. The US still has the cheapest gas prices in the west.

Meh, cost of living is so high in my area that gas is an afterthought.
I'd like to see the market forces at work.
