Hmmm..
Step 1: Sell Geo for 7k.
Step 2: Get a large new-ish truck/SUV for 3k once the panic sets in.
Step 3: For $5/gal gas and 10k miles per year, 20mpg for the SUV, 50mpg for the Geo, spend an extra $1500/year on gas. (unless I messed up the math
)
Step 4: Wait 2 years for gas to go down to 1.27/gal.
Step 5: Sell the SUV for 13k
Step 6: Buy a nice used Yaris or Geo for 3k
Step 7: Profit?
Step 8: Repeat!
