So glad my SUV days are over, I just could not afford it. I have heard rumors that the price will continue to climb this spring to about the $2.50-$2.60 national average, and will only drop when the price finally makes people curtail their driving.

HYbrids and alternative fuels are looking more and more attractive...

I remember my vacation to Germany about 9 yrs ago, gas was $2/gal there then

I considered a Hybrid but comming down from an SUV to a compact was a big enough change for now

They need to work out the kinks on those for a few years too

I'll consider them at my next purchase.... hopefully 8 yrs from now! lol~

What are fuel prices where you are? Here (Toronto Canada) they are at $0.85/L or $3.21/Gallon which works out to $2.63(USD)/ Gallon.

Personally I don't have any pity for seeing your gas prices rising, it's about time they start coming closer to what the rest of the world pays for fuel. Even stating that, I know that here in Canada we even pay relatively little for fuel compared to European nations!

I haven't had a car for over a year now (for various reasons) and although it was a huge lifestyle change I don't regret it whatsoever. I know that for a lot of people going without a car isn't an option but for me it's working out. Next vehicle I get sometime down the road will be a hybrid.
