Most people I know are either doing it or seriously thinking of it. It does not look as if prices are coming back down anytime soon. Gas companies whiile making record profits have allowed their refineries to become seriously in need of upgrading and repair. Guess who will eventually foot a large part of the bill, probaly in the name of National Security? Yep, you and me, the same people the gas companies have made all those obscene profits from.

I traded in my Ford Mustang GT for a Honda Fit last summer. Gas prices were one reason, I drive 400 miles a week just commuting to and from work. However the mustang also cost alot more to insure and it needed alot more work. The Mustang was in the shop atleast every 6 months and every time it was 600-1000 dollars to fix whatever went wrong.
My wife and I also had a baby and the Mustang wasn't going to be acceptable anymore.

There are a lot of people who could use a down size, most drive more then they need. I have a neighbor who drives a 7 passenger mini van and most of the time one is using the van at any given time, when the family goes out together there's 3 in the van. Their kid is not into sports at all, they don't car pool, the wife drives it to work, about 5 minutes away.

People who kids have grown up and don't need there Chevy Suburbans any more are flocking to Nissan and buying the new Versa and Sentra's. Wouldn't you want to go from 13 mpg to 36 mpg? At 3.00 it takes almost 100 dollars at the pumps one or two times a week to fill up that 6,000+ pound beast.
