Poor SUV owners - not so cool now :)

I'm an SUV owner and I am finally excepting the fact that it's time to turn it in.
It stinks, because for me it's more practical. I didn't get it to be 'cool'.

I am a SUV driver. I still love my SUV. I didn't know you thought I was cool b/c I had one.

Just got back from running an errand on my lunch break. $3.39 a gallon at 1 Exxon, another Exxon right down the road was $3.19 (for regular!)

not a bad idea! I would love the Accord Hybrid, but it's $30,000! ouch!

FH and I went to dinner last night and before we went in the gas station next door was $2.75 for reg. When we came out it was over $3! Luckily we took it as a sign and rushed to the nearest gas station that was still $2.75 and topped off. Honestly, I know for a lot of people it is very inconvenient...but some people are not going to be able to survive. Personally, I may have to start looking for another job (again) because I can't do overtime at this one. I may have to drop my health insurance to cover the cost...either that or postpone the wedding for 2 more years...don't laugh, we are considering it. With increased gas prices, the cost of everything is going to go up. My father owns a business and is raising his prices already. This economy is headed for the toilet...fast. I feel for SUV owners (my in-laws and cousin are SUV owners), and don't take offense, but they need to put that 'gas-guzzler tax' on SUV's. Sorry for the long rant...but I am very depressed about this...

PS: BTW, I know ths increase was not about Bush, but I have to say that I wish I could take my vote back anyway because I really don't think gas would have gotten as crazy as it did if it wasn't for him. I may be wrong in this assumption, but there has to be a reason that since he took office, gas has tripled in price! I will bow my head in shame and accept the Kerry supporter's 'I told you so' now.

Even though I am a Kerry supporter I am not going to pin this on Bush (entirely ). I think part of it is that gas has not inflated at the rate that everything else has in this country. With all that is going on in oil rich countries I think the oil companies saw an opportunity to make a little extra money.
