Higher and Higher

Oil hit yet another all time high again today. This is more than just another news item since most people (myself included) do feel the pain of the ever rising gasoline price. It now costs me more than $40.00 to fill up my car. When I bought my present car, I was also considering another model with a higher gas mileage. At that time gas mileage wasn't really a factor but it looks like it will be the next time I buy a car. $40.00 for a fill up is pretty bad. But at least I don't drive a huge SUV, some of which will cost twice as much for a fill up. I have always wonder why people would buy a huge SUV with space for nine adults and towing capacity of more than 8000 lbs when they mainly use it to commute to work all by themselves. I see plenty of these lone SUV drivers during my commute to work. I have actually been seeing less lately. I guess people with more than one car are leaving their SUV at home. So it looks like every cloud does have a silver lining. The only way to get people to change is to hit them where they hurt. Maybe now people will stop buying huge SUV that they don't need and stop polluting the environment.

What kind of car do you drive?
