@ only 3 USD a gallon, the incentive to get a fuel sipper is losing its appeal.

The trouble is the market is "created", the prius for example made its own market over time. AKA It doesn't sell well today but tomorrow is anyones guess. So we are just being short sighted.
Also $3 a gallon fuel is ungodly expensive! When I start seeing gas get back down to pre recession levels ($1 a gallon) I will say that the price isn't a motivator anymore.
But you are correct, most nimrods see gas drop 10 cents for a few months junk their civic and buy a V10 dodge.
