Here in Colorado, regular is currently $1.45 (COSTCO 85 Ocatane), but it seems to be creeping up on a daily basis. Bad news for those of us who own trucks of ANY brand. Of course, that's not gonna be our only worry. As the gas prices go up, they are going to directly translate to higher expenses for every business and we're ALL going to notice that.
To address the first part of your question: I'm pretty sure I'd still buy a Titan. I really USE a pickup truck. Seems like I'm always hauling stuff, either for myself, my kids or someone else. Don't know what life would be like without a truck.
Now, let me pose a question to the forum...one that I've always wondered about: Why doesn't someone make a front-wheel drive pickup? I understand that 4x4 sales may plummet, but wouldn't the resultant FWD sales offset that? Using myself as an example, the only reason I buy 4WD is for the snow. I'm not an off-roader, but I do live in the country and I like to drive in the mountains. But a FWD vehicle would take care of those issues just fine. What are your thoughts?
