That and because people are pretty short-sighted too. As gas goes up, SUV's and truck sales go down. But once the gas goes down again, the SUV and truck sales go back up again. I don't understand how people can be so short-sided. They don't understand that gas fluctuates...the price is just going to go back up again. | 95% of the people that own these 4-wheel drive vehicles NEVER need them.
I live in the far north, and I drive a 2WD pickup for my "side business". If I can't get through the snow without a 4WD, I shouldn't be out in it. |
