Does anybody think the list will look much different by the end of the year, now that we're in the era of $3 a gallon gasoline? Or how high will gas have to get in order for changes to be made?

In CA I'd say gas still has to go A LOT higher to really see a change.

I'd love an '06 Mustang GT Convertible to match my MINI, especially if someone paid me to drive it.

Yeah if somebody paid me I'd gladly drive a King Ranch F-150; an Altima SE-R; a Cobalt SS Supercharged; a Sierra Denali; a Mustang GT like Kyle said; and probably a Tahoe LTZ.


I don't think the lineup is gonna change much, regardless of gas, except the bottom few.....meaning mainly the Tahoe falling back off the top 20. There's already plenty of fuel-efficient cars up there....the Corolla, Camry, Focus, Cobalt, etc. And something very strange and life-changing would have to happen for the top 2 to change.
