Now that oil is down, way down, nearly 40%, should not the 'much' lower gas prices (hahahaha), bring interest in new cars back up. Oh wait...........gas prices are not down that much, even though as they spiked, this past summer we were told over and over again by anylist and the media that high gas prices were directly related to the cost of crude oil. Should'nt that work both ways? Since the price of oil is down 40%, gas should be down comparably, and car sales would be up.....if that would actually happen. The high price of fuel has seriously hurt the economy, and now that its been knocked to the floor the people that are no doubt going to profit in all time record highs with the huge difference in crude prices to the refined product selling price are kicking it while its down. Maybe the US government should have taken over the oil industry instead of banking, and the cost of gas, diesel, jet fuel, heating oil, etc.,. would be where people can afford them, and this would give people an oppurtunity to regroup, and maybe save enough money to invest in an alternate fuel car, so that when the energy cost go up in the future we can be properly prepared.

The days of cheap oil are behind us and I believe we will now see a sustained shift to hybrid type vehicles. I just hope the credit crisis does not start hitting research and development budgets at the automakers.
