$4 dollar gas hummers resale value. - Page 2

Gas prices.........
 
Ever notice, they tell you ahead of time what the prices are going to be, that way your all-ready mentaly perpaired for the up coming pirce of Fuel.......
 
There going to stay up........and down.....its Business...........supply and demand.........
 
Just in Fort Laurdale, the taxes on gas is 48 cents a Gallon.......in west palm beach its 52 cents a gallon..........
 
Right Now as we/I speak there 1-3 Tankers parked out of port Everglades with gas/Fuel and waiting to have them off-loaded....but no where to put it.......untill we use some more of it............its not a Supply problem...its a GREED Problem..........
 
Now that were using smaller cars,using less gas and not running around as much,they have plenty of gas...but not lowering the prices.....to make Profit..for the Stock Holders...
 
I think the person who can't afford gas at present , if there driving a Car,will not buy a HUMMER, becuase of the gas price............
 
Those of us who Bought the HUMMERS Knew it was not a gas saver, when we bought them...........i/We bought Ours for the RIDE and CONFORT..and Boldness of the Truck......
 
The Gas is a Sencondary to Having it........along with the Mantance costs.........
 
Its worth it.........
 
 

I was wondering if anyone was going to bring up the fact that the Oil Companies aren't the real culprits here. It's the Govt Taxes on the gas/oil. Almost half goes to taxes then the rest is divided up between local operators, transport, THEN the oil companies. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that they aren't making any money off of it. Hell, just last year the oil companies report a record profit margin for their 4th quarter earnings. But I don't have a problem with someone making money, I have a problem with all of the taxes then everyone going and getting mad at the wrong people. While the govt sits back and watches us all whine and cry about Sunoco, Shell, etc... People need to research a little more and stop relying on The CBS Evening News for all of their information.

Yes, I get pissed everytime I see the tax disclosures on the pumps.

Yeah, but these same oil companies are making BILLIONS IN PROFIT every year!! Don't get me wrong,
I'm ALL for FREE ENTERPRISE, but in a free enterprise business model, there is COMPETITION. There is NO
competition in the OIL COMPANIES!!! If one raises prices, they ALL DO!!!

Here in Vegas I was at my local Hummer dealer a week or two ago test driving a used H2, the dealership was pretty empty people wise and you could tell the sales people were not happy.
A freind of mine recently quit the local Hummer store because of the huge sales decline.
When I got my H3 a year and a half ago the same dealership was packed everytime I went in there.
I have also been seeing used H2's getting marked down like crazy here in Vegas at "all" the local dealerships.
As someone that does not care that much about gas prices and can afford the gas I must admit that I have put getting another H3 or an H3T higher on my shopping list than the H2 because of the gas prices.
And then again, its not so much the gas prices as I think it is my memories of when I was a kid and the big gas shortage happened, and there were lines down the street for blocks just to get gas, if that happens again I want to keep my visits to the gas station to a bare minimim.
 
With all that being said though, the H2 is still a consideration for me, going to check another one out this week that I have been looking at,,, the marked down H2 prices make it kinda tempting.

Take all the Tax out of it and Gas is still cheap here. In Europe it's about $1.75 a liter so about $7.00 a gallon.
 
There hasn't been an oil refinery built in the US in the last 29 years. Do you think they are trying to keep up with demand.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but with all this bad weather I am sure glad I have a Hummer.

That was before we started caring about the rare "one eyed Newt" that only lives where oil is plentiful
 
I agree with you about the weather. Never had a problem!
