12000 miles a year at 12 MPG with $4.50 gas is 4500 a year. You can get well over $10,000 off the higher end SUV's, that's over 2 years worth of free gas.

If you like driving SUV's and trucks, there's no reason not to buy one, let the panic monkeys knock the price down for those of us who know better.

A slightly used one is ever better, everyone is trading their $4000 fuel bill for a $4000+ a year car payment...AND they end up driving a smaller, slower, less safe vehicle.
