Sure enough in the near future there will be a big article on CNN showing "poor and upset" fat bastards in suits crying about how they lost so much money in their energy investments.
I agree 100%... When I moved back to the US 3 years ago from Germany, all I would talk about is how great the diesel motors are (efficiency and power) and no one would even pay attention to me. Now, everyone is shit canning their Canyoneros for Priuses, and now they are all asking me about those diesel motors that I always talked about.
I'd gladly pay an extra 10 bux a tank to get some of these big ass vehicles off the road..
