Let the market work here. With these prices people will WANT to buy other things. And will be looking for cars like the air car that is coming out next year. And more car companies will be following benz lead and will start to create cars that do not run on gas.  |
Yep, the market is speaking. SUV and truck sales are in a free fall because people are buying cheaper more fuel efficient cars. When push comes to shove people will decide what is best for them. I remember when I was a kid in the 80's have a car that got great gas mileage was a point of pride. Then in the 90's that changed. The car companies convinced all the soccer moms that they needed SUVs and now those same families are the ones that are hurting from gas prices and are looking to sell the SUV and buy something more efficient and the car companies were not ready for the switch so they are really hurting.
There could be some really bad times on the horizon if things don't start changing and our leaders don't alter their thinking.
