I have to disagree with you Tater03. If someone can afford an 8 cylinder Lincoln Navigator SUV gas guzzler, they should pay the price. Perhaps then gas prices could drop or they would think twice. A smaller owner of a mini or other 4 cylinder would not pay as much because even though they are not hybrids, they are not the culprits. I also think that large trucks should not be used for long distance and instead re-open rail frt. The amount of fuel they use is enormous. One fill up costs approx.$700 in fuel.
