How many of you traded in and maybe wished you hadn't?
With gas prices on the way down for at least the for-seeable future, did anyone trade in a gas-guzzler for a fuel efficient car and now wish they hadn't (especially considering a lot of people ate a loss in trading in)?

Gass prices will rise a few bucks come winter, but in the long run I think everyone will be happy with their choices

I still have the 1988 Toyota pickup that my wife brought into the marriage (she got it in later 1988, slightly used). My wife still has the 2003 Toyota Corolla we bought new.

2001 Ford Bronco...I kept it...Never really even thought of getting rid of it. But, I do only work 2 miles from home so it's not bad.

They will? They still haven't sunk enough in most areas to match the current oil prices.

A barrel of oil will go up a few bucks is what I meant. Gas is about 1.99 here

Lowest Ive seen here is 2.59 :/ AZ prices went up slow but they are coming down slow too.
Oil just sank a lot more in the last 2 days even after the cuts.

From what I've read and heard. Gas prices aren't expected any type of rise within the next couple of months. In fact, many think they will continue to fall until the end of the winter.

The other interesting question would be, how many people picked up a truck or SUV at a really good bargain because of the panic, and are now all happy?

It might not be immediately worth getting a worse deal for a more fuel-efficient car, but gas prices sure as hell can't stay at $2 forever. At some point the prices are going to skyrocket as the oil supply dwindles. It may not be possible to tell when that point is, though.

The oil supply will never dwindle unless production is slashed to the point of non-existance, which won't happen.
Plus with all the effort being put into alternative fuels the other drags on oil are going to dwindle, bringing it's cost down even more.

Yeah, I am likely to stick with fuel efficient vehicles.

I've been wanting to get rid of my car and buy a Honda Civic for a while, just haven't got all my shit in line yet. Although, I'm super happy I got rid of my old truck when I did.

Heh, I traded in my 02 Civic for a 06 Ram. It was a great car but was time to upgrade. Not to mention I got top trade in thanks to demand.

Probably going to buy '85 Ford Bronco or '98 Jeep Grand Cherokee when I get some coin, but I don't have long drives so it's all good.

So you're saying oil is a renewable resource and all this talk about alternative sources of energy is just pointless. I see.
Perhaps you should look into this thing called reality. Been going on for a while now, and according to it we have a finite supply of oil.

Well between the fact that the oil reserves that haven't even been tapped are expected to be larger than the ones currently being tapped and those aren't supposed to run out for some time, and that certain companies are working on producing oil from plant matter , I would say we may as well have infinite resources.
Spare me the "say hi2u reality" when you haven't looked into the subject matter very deeply.
Edit: The [oil from plant matter] could clearly be a solution with what to do with the kudzu that is taking over the South Eastern US.
