Gas is around $2 a gallon in the States? Man I need to find more pick ups and SUVs to export! Diesel trucks are always worth a lot down there, but with fuel that cheap, no wonder we've had so many people looking for F150s etc. In the year 2001, Ford sold 107 new F150s every minute, of every day, for the year. I see that happening again, manufacturers love selling trucks as they are crazy high profit vehicles, and with gas that cheap they'll be trying to get as many out the door as possible.

But then gas prices will spike, and sales will crash. And the whole time I wouldn't have cared because I drive a 25 year old Civic haha. Personally I enjoy being a part of this site because I like the ideas of being efficient, having nerdy old cars, and improving my driving. Old cars, hot rods and drag racing have always been things I really like, but this site shows you how to do things that are just, well, smart. I like saving money on gas, but I like not wasting the stuff, regardless of price, more. Just my 2 cents.
