Gas Guzzlers Return As Gas Prices Go Down
Since gas prices are coming down to more normal levels – presuming this is a trend – I’m seeing more Hummers, Escalades, Sequoia’s and the like on the road.
It’s amazing actually.
Not that you didn’t see them before. But you could see the look of “poor driver – I wonder how much (s)he pays for gas ” as people with more fuel efficient cars drive pass them.
Now, I saw my first Hummer in MONTHs right behind me, with headlights blinding me in my rear-view mirrors.
Made me think of what Obama has been saying. It’s a visicious cycle. Gas is low, people get the guzzlers. Gas prices go back up, and it’s panic and heavy discussions of reliance on foreign oil abound. As soon as prices go down, it’s back to guzzlers and “let’s focus on something else” discussions.
I so glad Obama is focused on green technology and stopping the viscious cycle. It’s kinda like a cycle of abuse that starts parents beating up on their children, then those children beating up on their children.
