Yep, just got done reading this article before logging in. http://www.cnbc.com/id/41704691Just in time for my trip to Lake Havasu AZ. Be interesting to see what happens to the markets tomorrow. European and Asian markets took a drop today over the crisis in Libya.

Once the prices soar, buy all the gas guzzling trucks you can for pennies on the dollar. Once the market crashes again and gas prices go down you can triple your money...
It happened before and it will happen again...

I think your right there Keith. Been stalling for awhile now on buying a new truck, mostly because my current one is still running ok and not costing me money in repairs, so why fork over the cash, but the time is nearing.
I was going to buy a diesel, but been watching them deisel prices at the pump. Paid $2.84 for gas yesterday and diesel was like $3.37. Kind of worried that it is just going to be too expensive to run a diesel. No matter, still have to have a truck.

Yep, and assuming these gas prices do touch $5.00 a gallon it will be the straw that breaks Chryslers, Chevy and Fords back... It BK'd 2 of them last time... But for those with some capital sitting around I'd go to the auctions and buy up all them Diesels once prices hit that $5.00 a gallon, I watched them sitting at auction yards for 1/3 to 1/2 of their value they held at the $2.50 diesel prices. We're liquidating all our trucks at our dealerships, getting ready for it.... I drive the Dodge 1500 Hemi, it's a guzzler it's self. But like you said, got to have a truck! Sad but true.... Keith

Bring it on! When we bought the house we planned on rising fuel prices, 2 blocks for me to work and about 8 for my wife. Had to pay more for the house but savings have already started even at these prices.

We just happened to be looking during the Gulf spill, it really narrowed down our search area with that on the news everyday.

Just hang onto the Corolla until the prices hit $5.00 a gallon, your Corolla will be lined with gold in the eyes of the buyer... Literally... Any 30+mpg car will bring stupid-stupid money.... If you are thinking about getting rid of a truck do it now and do it fast... Keith
