Deja Vue. Do you remember the 1970s. Deja Vue. Notice the above posters who have changed nothing. IOW the price has not yet gone up high enough. Even when big block V-8 cars were as heavy as that Suburban, they still got 17 MPG highway. Meanwhile, most Suburban owners and equivalent that I know of are not even getting 13 MPG. 12 is the highest number provided. IOW the price of gas has not gotten high enough to that these vehicles do even what was once standard.

You have not yet seen a high price. Obviously. Show me all these people who are changing their lifestyles? Many people even leave their computers on 24/7. Just another change when the price gets high enough.
