SUV Makers Feel the Heat of Higher Oil Prices

Let me give you some examples of SUV owners I have known in the past few years in America:

Countless suburban soccer moms with 2 children who live on paved roads and never tow or transport anything sizable - Land Rovers, Expeditions, Excursions, Suburbans, etc.

A single man who made his fortune with male-enhancement pills and professional poker, usually drives alone in our largest city - H2, then Escalade.

A 16-year-old kid who usually drives alone within the largest city in our state - Expedition.

Most of the working people I know drive trucks, because a truck is a whole lot more practical than an SUV. Most of the SUV drivers I know were seeking a status symbol or the ability to keep themselves safe while crushing other drivers in an accident.
