If you read this, you might believe Americans are just stupid. How in 
the world can people complain about gas prices and also want to purchase 
"gas gussling SUVs, big and loud trucks and commercial Hummers."

BTW: "gussling" isn't a word. You probably meant "guzzling."

No, I don't believe the owners of Tahoes (yeah,you know who you are), 
Suburbans, Hummers, Excursions, Expeditions, Exclamations, etc. have any 
real concern about gas prices or fuel economy.

Now, here's some cud to chew on: As high as gas prices are, they still 
have not matched the equivalent prices during the OPEC oil embargo in 
1973. Up until this point, rising gas prices have NOT caused a 
significantly noticeable affect on the economy. That is, the cost of 
gasoline has not (yet) caused the average American consumer to forego 
consumption of goods in order to continue to afford the purchase of 
gasoline.
