Wow that is really insane.

We're holding onto our LR Discovery (10 mpg average) and driving it more often now that gas is under $2.00/gal. Last summer a fill cost ~ $115 and now it's $45. My Audi TT (25 mpg average) is my DD.

I highly doubt the increase of SUVs at the pumps these days reflect short term memory loss. Most of my neighbors have kept their SUVs rather than "giving them away" when gas was really expensive. They're just using them more now that gas is so cheap.

edit - well I started reading the news about SUV sales and I guess I was wrong. People are pretty short sighted.
