In America, we have the freedom and right to drive SUVs and sports cars and big trucks. We also have the right to hypermile. It's about choice and freedom.

And yes, if gas prices continue to drop, all other prices that are affected by the cost of oil will drop as well. Not right away, as price rises have lagged behind fuel rising. Most companies have eaten the extra cost as long as they could, driving down profits. As they start to recover, they will lower thier prices, too. Its called capitalism!! God bless America!
i hope they stay up too, with my hypermiling i can afford it even though i don't make alot of money. I used to get 19 mpg, now get 29, big difference.

p.s. i see your from ct, add yourself to the map (im all lonely ). (if you want)
