 well i cant relate since i wasnt alive in '73, but i know it doesnt seem to
affect everyone..the big gas guzzling Escalade owners are not phased one bit..
 i dont think the current gas prices will hurt the SUV market..  people love
paying extra to fuel their status symbols at any cost..

actually prices seemed to have dropped a few cents here (pa) in the past few
