In the United States, many people are trading in their large S.U.V.'s and trucks in so that they can get more fuel efficient cars, since gas is $4 a gallon in the States at the moment. But as many people as there are btrading in their gas guzzling vehicles, there are just as many people wanting to get used gas guzzlers, because they are larger, and can hold more than a fuel efficient vehicle. Since the price for gas hit $4 a gallon in the U.S., the number of people buying used gas guzzlers has increased by 23%. Most car owners say its hard to hold on to some S.U.V.'s because as soon as they received a used one, someone else wants it right away. This surprises me that so many people still want to buy, non-fuel-efficient vehicles because it feels like they are living in the past.
