But you are correct, most nimrods see gas drop 10 cents for a few months junk their civic and buy a V10 dodge.
I'm seeing this a ton in my area with fuel now at only $2.88 a gallon and dropping.

People are buying full size trucks and selling their fuel sipping commuter's.
There are some great deals on all the economy boxes in my area!!!
