Study Shows Consumers Are No Longer Concerned About Rising Gas Prices

Average fuel prices in the United States managed to triple between the years of 1999 and and 2012. While we’ve been fortunate enough to enjoy relatively low prices at the pump over the last few years, analysts predict the current spike will continue through the summer.

However, a recent study from Kelley Blue Book suggests most new-vehicle buyers don’t give a flip about it, with consumers claiming the price surge won’t influence their vehicle purchasing decisions in the slightest.

Gas prices are only high because of a ridiculous amount of taxes added on to the price and the price gouging by Arab countries. Both are solvable.

The most expensive US State for gas is a bargain compared to any Canadian province which is only going to get worse with Carbon Taxes that ratchet up every year thanks to our asshole feminist people kind leader Mohamed Trudeau (a spoiled trust fund moron whos family made their fortune with dirty oil) and his greeny advisers. Can we please trade for Trump?

The price increase is too new to make such a judgement, previous large fuel spikes were devastating to inefficient vehicle sales. Give it a year and trucks/SUVs will be on fire sale. The CRV should be compared to the Civic, 20% mpg and 25% purchase difference.
