With the price of fuel going up, up, up, it might actually get more of us into these rigs. Price of the vehicle might just have to come down.
Now why would I sell mine when we just got her 2 weeks ago?

I recently saw a photograph from the '70s that showed a gas station price of 61-cents per gallon. It got me to thinking & calculating. To me, gas is cheaper nowadays. That 61-cents back then represented almost 25% of an hour's wage I was earning. Gas can go to $4/gallon today and it still wouldn't be 15% of a current hour's wage. If gas prices had followed inflation, we would probably look at $6/gallon as a bargain. I'll keep the X.

I'm Keeping mine!
I have a 2003 V-10 that I bought new. It has 56000 miles and runs great. We only use it now to pull our 9200 pound Travel Trailer. Works great. We travel 4-5 months of the year and park it the rest of the time. Haven't driven it since Nov.2007.
We leased a 2007 Fusion for most driving - wife car. Fuel savings just about pay for the lease fee of $259/month.
I drive a 1984 Turbo 2.3 Anny Mustang - fast and good gas mileage.
Fuel prices will not control my life - It does reduce what I buy for gifts.

I'm actualy in the process of BUYING a 2005 Exursion Diesel (4x4, Eddie Bauer edition, 38K miles).
I am forevery carrying people a lot of STUFF to Ren Faires, or towing my Toy Hauler Trailer, so I need a big vehicle like that. Can't really fit all that in to a Prius
So I plan on keeping it for a while.
With all the Bio Diesel stuff on the horizion, I think it is going to be the best long term option for hauling all my stuff.

.
but as i only average about 9mpg (all local use) i would probably use it mainly for long distance (family trips etc)
