Do you really think someone who is paying $55k-$80k for a vehicle gives a damn about gas mileage? Probably not unless they are one of those super green vegan liberal types, who already own a Prius, because if they can afford an $80k vehicle, keeping the gas tank full is like pocket change to them.
"I would love to buy this $75,000 Escalade, but I don't think I could afford the $4,000 in estimated fuel costs per year." Said no one.... ever.
Not exactly true.
An old school teacher of mine, Ed Goodson, also a former pro baseball player, was all set to buy a brand new huge Toyota Tacoma pickup but didn't. Why? Rising gas prices.

That just shows he is financially responsible, not that he can't afford it. He probably has no use for a truck in any event.... he pays other folks to do that kind of thing.

HUGE Tacoma? Is he a midget? And around 20mpg - that's pretty good for a truck! I get 19mpg on mine with over 280,000 on it!
