I don’t think gas prices are ever going to go down, so it’s going to be pretty hard to sell a large gas guzzler when gas is 5 or 6 dollars a gallon. Any of you guys been thinking the same thing?

Regular by me is running about 3.50 a gallon. If it pushes past 4 close to 5 I will probably look at getting a beater car, maybe an old volvo 240 and run the crap out of that. I have posted in the past that it doesn't make sense to do this, but at some point the cost of fuel will outweigh the other factors of maintenance and insurance. Not having a truck would really suck, I use it often enough to haul stuff and having no capability to do that is not in the cards. And I don't think a tundra is going to be worth nothing, even if gas prices do keep going up. Maybe less, but they will still hold their value relative to the rest of the marketplace.
