And seeing how Americans are always so shortsighted, sedans will make a short lived recovery in sales.

There were cars pumping fuel, and waiting in line...so I don't think it was that. I was moving so unfortunately I couldn't snap a picture of all of that. I tried, but best I could do. This station was the only one in the area with fuel and they knew it.

Many SUVs, today, get the same (or close to) gas mileage as sedans do. That's one reason (among several) why they are so popular....it's not just cheap gas.

Fake gas shortage when there's videos out there of gas station owners saying they're getting their supply regularly down there in TX. Media playing this up to make gas prices go higher and everyone go out and buy gas while it's cheap.
