Yeah, the gas prices are hitting hard. When I bought my Iliad (standing in line early 2 years ago) I could fill my tank for around $15. Last month I had a fill up that was a tad over $60. And I do that 3-4 times a month (even though the car is a fuel efficient diesel engine getting nearly 50MPG I have a relatively long drive to work). Doesn't take long for most people cut back on non-essentials with prices that high. Particularly when you consider that 50% of what has been sold in the last several years would probably need to go downhill with a tail wind to get half the mileage I do.
