Do any of you know of anyone that drives a hummer?? I saw on the news yesterday that they may quit making those cars. They use so much gasoline that no one wants to buy them anymore.
In my small town, there are many hummers. A lot of Real estate agents bought them to take their clients out to look for property.
We talked to someone yesterday that bought a great big diesel pick up a few months ago for $50,000. When gas went up, he tried to trade it in for something smaller. All he can get on a trade in for this NEW truck is about $30,000.
Thank goodness, I usually only use 10 gallons of gas a week!!(or less)

People are most definitely taking better MPGs into consideration now. And finding ways to save gas.

We did notice the most obnoxious realtors in our neighborhood haven't been driving their Hummer around. Dh mentioned it so I snooped around and gathered since they were working for other realtor offices that their business had dissolved.
We had to snicker to see that news - you don't know how obnoxious they were. They were pretty obsessed with keeping our neighborhood prices way over-inflated, well after the writing was on the wall, and were nasty to us when we tried to sell at what we thought was a reasonable price. I was always suspicious they bought a home behind us (that they were hired to sell) to keep the price inflated. It sold a couple of times for very high, and then foreclosed. The whole thing was always fishy to me. They were trying to sell it for a good $100k over the market when we put our home up, so we had some words at the time.

That said, I don't see how there can be much demand for them. But I've never seen the attraction, even before gas went up.
