Gas prices down Truck sales up

SUVs and truck sales are on the rise. While small economy cars fall dramatically in sales. Many believe this is a direct result of the recent drop in the cost of fuel. I find this to be a unbelievably ignorant action of the American consumer. How could people have such a short memory of only a few months ago when gas prices were nearly a dollar higher, and think that they will not go up again if measures aren’t taken to prevent this. The more of these fuel guzzling machines on the road the more demand there is for gas which results in the rising price which we all were crying about in the recent past. Also the more we need gas results in the more dependent we are on the middle east and its oil. If that is not enough to discourage purchase of an unnecessarily large vehicle than consider the amount of air pollution it is causing and the danger that this poses to our future. Overall I think that this rise in the purchase of large vehicles show just how ignorant and blatantly stupid people can be in this county.
