Several people already hit on this, but I believe the same. Our way of living will more than likely change. SUV's and "recreational" life will cease to exist at the current climb of gas prices. If you look at oil futures.....

We are buying gas at the pump when oil was $100-$110 a barrel prices. Oil futures show $126, that means gas prices WILL GO UP.

I can't justify a truck anymore or SUV for that matter. I won't be owning an RV, boat, or anything like that. Pretty soon if I need anything hauled like "cargo" I'll be farming it out to some new businesses in town "We Haul Your Cargo, Inc."

PS, don't forget about.

On a side note, why on earth do electric cars have to be butt ugly? Now Telsa Motors got it right, but geez, $100K??? wow... not in my price range.

I'll buy a Toyota Prius, but not for the LOOKS. My family and friends call it the "clown" car. I have to agree, but I'll give up styling to save some money at the pump. Every other electric car I've seen looks "funny" to me....including "Smart Car" http://www.smartusa.com/

I'm looking into motorcycles now to get back and forth to work. Some Honda bikes get 140 MPG for a 250 cc.
