This in the news today-
WILMINGTON, Del. - General Motors is closing four truck and SUV plants in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, affecting 10,000 workers, as surging fuel prices hasten a dramatic shift to smaller vehicles.
CEO Rick Wagoner said Tuesday before the automaker’s annual meeting in Delaware the plants to be idled are in Oshawa, Ontario; Moraine, Ohio; Janesville, Wis.; and Toluca, Mexico. He also said the iconic Hummer brand will be reviewed and potentially sold or revamped. -AP

Looks like the demise of the SUV is well on its way. And with any luck the Hummer will go the way of the dinosaurs.
I saw gas at $3.99 today. I guess I was a bit conservative a few weeks back when I guessed that gas would hit $4 before the year was out... how about the month?
I'm loving the scooter. I took the wheel off today to get a new tire put on it so it'll pass safety. $20 for a tire is something I can live with, and there are only two of them!

Driving between Indiana and home, saw gas for 4.22 and refused to buy it there...even though my gas light came on. I think I ended up paying 4.09, but didn't fill up totally in hopes of lower gas prices elsewhere.
