Honest? Is a new car payment worth saving a few cents on gasoline? That's what most owners would be facing. I've heard that gas will probably spike to $4 a gallon, then when the oil companies bring it back down to $3.25 - $3.50 we'll be so glad, we'll just suck it in and be thankful. People will stop traveling as much as they do and change their driving habits, but sell the car and take on new payments, don't think so.
Looking around for an older, smaller more fuel efficient car might be an option but do you really want to sell a newer car for someone's older used vehicle?
The PT's low 20's gas mileage (in most cases) isn't that bad and if you
really changed your driving habits, you could increase it a couple miles per gallon.
This is all generally speaking. Everyone's in a different situation, especially financially. If if ever gets to $5+ a gallon, I'd even think of selling the wife's KIA crossover for a Hybrid, but I'd still keep my PT and my Vette.
