Gas-hog owners can’t sell them

Tammy Fontanilla loves her red 2004 Dodge Ram pickup truck, but when gas prices began to soar last year, she felt she had no choice but to put it up for sale.

Problem is, there’s little demand for a vehicle that gets 13 miles per gallon and costs nearly $100 to fill up.

“Nobody is buying gas-guzzlers,” said Fontanilla, a Salt Lake resident.

“I can’t even trade it in for what I owe because dealers are telling me that it would be on the lot for a long time.”
