I am fascinated by the inability of many to not take responsibility for their actions. It is everyone elses "fault" that fuel prices are "high." Not many say, gee, I really didn't need that Ford F-150 Crew Cab to commute to my white collar job 50 miles a day round trip. Most think, politicians, you should fix this for me since I blame the oil companies, OPEC, "price gouging" etc.
Get ready for much more demagoguery on this issue, especially if this winters heating bills are as high as some are forecasting.

we all know that... it doesnt help dealerships are giving customers $7000 cash back on a new denali, tahoe, and even ford F150. People dont think about how much gas this things take.

Just wait until the Chinese masses own as many cars per capita as the US. And why shouldn't they? We keep bragging about US standard of living but when the "less developed" (our words) nations catch up the competition for goods will no longer favor the US. Gas has been cheap in the US by world standards. Start getting use to paying what everyone else pays (except in oil producing countries). Even people on welfare can still afford to own and drive cars here.

Hey Trekman, I mean no disrespect to you.
I wouldn't worry about the fire sale prices on the cars you mentioned. That simply is not a sustainable business model for them. Also remember that some people may buy something like that as a tow vehicle or hauler that they use only occasionally.

A denali gets better gas mileage than the car I drive (97 SL600) the SUVs aren't the only problem. Little cars like mine that like fuel are the problem too. Sometimes I would have to fill up twice a week just to commute from work-school-home total maybe 80ish miles a day.
So yeah, not trying to knock anybody here. I'm just sticking up for these SUV's :p
So if you are pissed about those SUV gas guzzlers, you must be furious at my gas swallowing 2 seater
