Pass GO in Your SUV

The price of gas right now is astronomical. Therefore, SUV's aren't quite as popular as they once were. It even looks like the Hummer is about to be discontinued. Even so, SUV's are being discount priced to move them off of car lots. It would take a good bit of money to buy a new one and also afford the gas for it, but if you can afford it then you probably need the room for your monocle, top hat, and bags with a $ sign on them.

With gas prices going up would you still be willing to buy an SUV?

Leave a comment about whether or not you would still buy an SUV with these gas prices. Your comment could make it onto FOX6 News.

If I needed an SUV, Yes, I'd still buy one. I sold mine about two years ago (not gas price related) because I realized that what I really needed was a truck. I haul stuff on a regular basis and unfortunately a Hybrid Honda Civic or some other such vehicle just won't cut it - neither will my motorcycle on some days.

I would not buy a SUV, period. I understand some people have large families and may need one. When I see them on the road with dollar signs flying out of the exhaust, it makes me happy that I bought a sensible car for my family's needs. I think 32 to 37 mpg is pretty decent during this fuel crunch, and I have plenty of room to spare.

You're right, 32 - 37 mpg is pretty good. I knock down about 50 mpg on my motorcycle - in town no less. My last tank was 52 mpg. But, I can't haul a half dozen sheets of plywood on it.
