Many people don't think ahead when it comes to fuel economy, if at all. It is definitely a buyer's market for high MPG cars.

Gas is as low as $1.54 near me. That would be about 12 cents a mile for my truck, while my Prius is only 3 cents a mile. That's a savings of about $1000 a year driving 11k miles a year, without including the fact that maintenance/tires cost more for the truck. You have to remember that most people are terrible with money/don't care that they could be saving $1k a year by driving a car vs a truck even at these low prices.
