Compared to Europe, the price of fuel in the U.S. is extremely low.Only when the price of fuel reaches that of most of the rest of the world will Americans stand back and reevaluate their desire to drive the biggest and fuel hungry civilian vehicles in the world.

1. Americans have always equated wealth with the size of cars. 2. gasoline is still relatively cheap here even if it is 3 bucks a gallon. 3. they don't get penalized or pay extra taxes for having a gas guzzler (ok, at purchase of new vehicles you do pay a gas guzzler tax if the vehicle falls into this catagory). 4. there is nothing like the ride of a long wheelbase luxurious car. My last big car was a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker in 1996. I loved the way it rode.
