SUV owners should look on the bright side....at least they can still buy fuel for them (for now)

Ah, such fine eco-friendly folks them Eurpopeans are as they motor on down their ethanoled freeways in ther hummers and assorted sooper trucks.
Humbug!

And at European fuel prices it will only cost you the equivalent of $180 to $220 a tank full to fill it up! Why get only one? I understand Arnold, as in Governor of California, has six!

for this money we will buy an audi, mercedes or alfa
but not such a truck

I've seen a yellow H2 carrying advertising for that dealership in Manchester city centre, usually parked outside a gym. I've also seen a black H2 limo around that part of town too. Those are the only Hummers I've seen in the UK so far. I just can't see this becoming anything more than a noveau riche toy. It's cheaper to buy a Jag or Merc and be spared the obscene hand gestures cast by every passer-by under the age of 30. Those things just scream "Money, no class" or "Mid-life crisis", I reckon they're going to lose their cool long before they get any market penetration. They're just too late for the party.

Maybe that's their target demographic, 30-something stock market millionaire-pretender who can afford to blow a couple of thousand £ or € per year on an exclusive gym membership he only uses two times a week, seeking a new conspicuous status symbol to suggest he has more money than he has actually got. After all, the Bang & Olufsen home cinema was sooo 2003, and that sushi place with the naked women as tables is but an unfashionable memory.

They're welcome to the damn things.

Do the things than need to be towed need to exist?

No things, no need to tow them. Simple.

I'm willing to bet that we'll make through $5 and even through $7/gallon. Speculative bubbles will unwind--but hey, that's the way it goes. The world made it through the great depression, WWII, and I'm not going to buckle under and head for the hills because--heaven help us--oil is $7/gallon.

SUVs could make great housing, at least a place to sleep, as more people are foreclosed out of their houses. In the capitalist future, we'll see empty houses with their former residents camped out in their SUVs on the street in front.
