$1.72 in the spring of 2003 vs. $4.26 in July of 2008. Please explain to me how that's "as expensive then as it is now"

Show of hands here...who was driving their Hummer back in 2006-2008 while making minimum wage? Anybody? My earlier point was simple. The price of gas now vs. back then is what is driving people to get rid of their gas hungry vehicles. If you buy a gas hungry vehicle today...you know the deal.

Cause the cost of living has gone up also. Did you make the same amount in 2010 as you did in 2003? If you?re like most people, you?re making a ****load more than you were then. (not because it?s worth more, inflation drives the numbers up...)

Really? Did you really think I was making the point that someone on minimum wage was driving an H2 in 2003? Don?t be stupid. I was making the point that inflation has driven not only the cost of gas up but everything else too... including wages.


I was making the point gas was a major expense based on income back in 2003. Yes, it was less, but so was the income level.


Let?s just agree that the H2 is a gas pig. Well, yours is.

I?ll continue to drive my 20mpg on the highway H2....

I can feel ur pain on The cost of gas. When I bought the h2 my wife drove 7 miles round trip now its about 40. Its her DD and we take it if we are running around town.

My DD is either an 09 gt500 or a 90 k5 GMC. We spends about 850 a month in gas. But we drive what we want. We are looking at getting a couple Honda's to keep the miles off the cars we like. I'm sure the drastic cut in fuel will be nice also
