I see vehicle swapping here at work, but the kind of swap depends on where they're parked.

The execs and sales guys park at the entrance and they seem to have gone from Mercedes and BMW SUVs and Cadillacs to Audi coups and Lexus sedans. Some real money saving happening there

The rest of us park behind the warehouse and loading docks. I see far fewer Jeeps and pickups and more compact and midsize cars. One of the guys on my bowling team gave his ailing 90's grand prix to one of our mechanics to replace his 2 ton pickup as a commuter car and picked up a Hyundai for himself.

I know quite a few people who would drive 30 minutes to save $0.10 and no, they can't do math.
