Talk about gas guzzlers and American myopia



It was not so long ago that the market was so crazy about hummers, their competition decided an even bigger, badder, luxury truck - the NaviStar CXT. At a street price of over $100,000 and a spectacular gas mileage of 6-10 miles per gallon, the company spokesperson said "We can see it as a vehicle for business people who want to make a distinct impression. For personal use, it's for people who want to make a statement.

I am wondering how this vehicle is going to do - with gas prices well over $3 per gallon. It would cost about $450 per month in gas cost alone to drive it an average of 1,000 miles per month.
