Or, we'll see a repeat of 2008-09, and the people buying SUVs and trucks now figure they'll sell them if gas prices go too high--without considering who would want to buy them, or the losses they'll take--because they haven't thought that far ahead.

Edit: Also, I hate headlines like, "Are Low Gas Prices Here to Stay?" Since they don't specify a time frame, the question is inane. Here to stay...through next week? Sure! Through the end of the year? Maybe! Five years? Probably not. A million years?
