That's the only bright side when gas prices goes up. Laughing at all the SUV/Hummers/Truck owners.

It's easy to laugh at truck owners, but in my case it's a fact of life, I have to use my truck. None of my other Toyotas are able to do what my Tundra does, between towing my 14' open trailer with building materials, tractors, and even cars, to my 20'x8.5' enclosed trailer, that hauls my Celica racecar, nothing else will do it. At the current price here, it will cost me nearly $80 to fill my Tundra, and if I baby it I might get 20-22mpg empty, if I have to tow the enclosed trailer with a load, I'd be luck to get 13-15mpg. If my wife hadn't just found a new job after being laid off before Thanksgiving, I'd really be scrambling just fo keep fuel in my fleet!!
