Gas prices are on the rise with no end in sight. I'm predicting gloom & doom for sales of the Hummer line-up unless GM gets it together with bringing us something more fuel-efficient & practical. That would be great for the future, but what about now? I think sales are going to tank as prices rise!!

Some other Hummer enthusiast I know disagree...in what almost seems like a proud & arrogant manner, these folks seem to feel that Hummer owners are all significanly wealthy and are essentially unaffected by rising gas prices....that a couple thousand dollars more each year spent at the pump means nothing to them. They say Hummer owner don't feel the bite and sales will continue almost unaffected.

My counter-thought to this arguement is that Hummer owners may have the money, but they likely worked hard to earn it and are not wasteful & careless...they care about the environment and conservation to some extent.

Enough rambling, you get the point...put up your vote & thoughts.

How much will rising gas prices affect Hummer sales in terms of potential Hummer owners caring about gas prices & cost to operate? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
The second and third options basically say the same thing. 19 (63%)
