Never thought we would come to this situation, right? Three dollars a gallon just for using the car. As experts say that we will suffer a price of four dollars before he settles down a little this madness. Think once, not long ago, we believed that two dollars per gallon were exaggerated, and we were certain that we would never be like the Europeans, with its diesel insignificant toy and toy cars. It seems that now we are in the same direction, thanks to foreign oil barons, hurricanes and unyielding greed of oil companies.

Although most experts assumed that by the end of the year the fuel prices will stabilize or even decrease somewhat, chances are that before long the price hikes this spring bring fuel prices back to the skies . The result is a doubly deadly gas, a combination of increases with no end in sight.

Bypasses the question whether this change will occur in public preferences, but when it will occur. In fact, the burning question is: Do we continue to buy vehicles that get less than 20 mpg when fuel climb to $ 4 a gallon? There are indications that something is happening. According to Automotive News, an industry newsletter in August saw a 10.1% increase in sales but a drop of 1.6% in sales of light trucks.

Last month, vehicles like the Chevrolet Silverado and the Ford Explorer had some success, but the Toyota Prius and other cars were sold guys like hotcakes. Given the August sales and the steady increase in fuel prices, it is clear that the shift to reduced consumption cars has already begun.
