I often wondered how long it would take with the gas issues at hand before something would happen with Hummers or any SUV for that matter. I mean even most hybrid SUVs aren't getting that much better fuel economy than the non-hybrid versions.

But everyone always tells me that anyone who can afford a Hummer in the first place can afford high gas prices. But even cheap frugal rich people would probably get annoyed after a while when they are paying a crap load to fill their Hummers for long trips to shore houses and other places fancy people go to.

Boy I picked a good time to buy a new Hyundai Accent that gets 35 mpg versus my old Caprice which was getting near 18 mpg. But I miss my old. big, comfortable 92 Caprice. If I got in an accident with the Hyundai, I'd be toast. That Caprice road beautifully though. I miss my Chevy. Still got the Camaro though.
