The point of expensive fuel is to stop manufacturers from making gas guzzling monstrosities. If fuel was $2 a litre would you be looking for a tiny-penis truck or a more efficient car?

Manufacturers follow the market

Fuel just went over $3 a litre here.

Apparently the small dick energy of ute owners offsets the cost, they've never been more popular
