I think they will sell in amazing numbers. Look at Prii(plural of Prius? ) Can anyone say that is a good looking automobile? No. It does get good mpg's, though, and that is all the consumer really cares about.

What?!!? To fill the Excursion, 44 gallons, @ almost $4 a gallon, you do the math!! (Haven't filled it a long time!!) Heck, the Mustang is over $50 to fill!!

By that time Bush will be out of the office and I hope a new president can do something about gas prices.

There is always NOS and forced induction if you need speed on a slowmobile nano car.

I have 3 trucks and the stang, im spending 2000 on Gas, a month to stay in the construction buisness. I have to pay to drive to jobs, and pull trailers. That being said 22 gal at 3.75 = 82.50 now thats far cry from 150.00, but i was speaking of 150 for the Stang at 15 gallons!!
By the way when Bush leaves office and Obama or whoever gets in office it aint changing. Quote me now and mark my words, guys it aint getting cheaper and gas aint going back down. Look at the quotes from the Saudis on this weeks meeting with Bush. We are using less and oil in thier words "Oil is at a price comprable with world demand". Europe has been paying more than this for years.

Gas prices won't go down, but remember 35 mpg rule. Pretty soon we should be able to see more cars with better gas mileage.

If VW can sell a bunch of 200mpg cars they could make a wild car that gets like 10mpg and still meet the 35mpg cafe.
