I really haven't followed this thread, as I see no point in complaining
about that of which I have no control. However, I've been waiting with
relish the day when the 18mpg SUV craze people will have reality slapped
in their collective faces. With gleeful chuckling I will motor past the
lines of Tahoes and Expeditions pumping full of $2.00/gal gas while I
still get nearly 30 mpg and have boatloads more fun to boot. You want to
hear crying? It'll  be from the excess opulence owners of SUVs. Wahh.
Boo-hoo. Get the hell out of the fast lane and go to the gas pumps :)
