that's bullshit, don't believe that.

I heard demand for gasoline is at a 20-plus year low. which means the price should be down, right?

Well the oil reserves are high and the cost of crude is down, so the refineries cut their production back to shrink the supply down and drive the price back up.

The oil companies got too used to charging $4-$5 per gallon.

Right now, the truck that I drive gets 10mpg. So my SS will give me higher mileage and higher horsepower.

If the difference between the LT and the SS is going to break your bank, then you should get a hybrid.
