    Right on, the 08 economy tank was started by 4.25 gas, I am a firm believer in this. I also read somewhere that oil companies are making money in today's economy at right around $60 a barrel, it is $90 right now, get ready for some record 2011 profits again if this keeps up. $5.00 gas scares the shit out of me because I am in the trucking industry and you all know they pay more for diesel. In 2009 there were almost 10,000 trucking companies go bankrupt, that actually righted the market. If it happens again then there will be a major lack of capacity that will increase the price of everything we know.

    Figure it out when/if it gets there. Gonna hate to pay 5/gal for reg and almost 6/gal for the M. Probably have to sell one or the other, and chances are, it would be the M since the taco is more practical and useful.

    I will probably end up keeping the 4cyl instead of getting a TRD... Unless I could sell mine high now, and buy a TRD low when they loose value.

    Definitely keep and try to drive slower but much slower...that's takin it too far. Will save much slower for 7.50 a gallon.

    I'm there, got 13 of them.

    Agreed

    No need to buy, got it covered........25-28mpg
