I've noticed that most drivers don't own premium cars that they can afford. Why?

[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1292115, member: 14668"] I disagree with increasing federal requirements for average fuel economy. I think consumers should be free to decide for themselves what sort of fuel economy they want from their cars. Its called a free market. However....I think that consumers should ALSO have to pay the TRUE cost of the fuel they buy at the pump...meaning an additional tax to pay for the Iraq war and its aftermath as well as the cost of maintaining a huge military presence in the Middle East. In other words...drive whatever you want but be willing to pay $6 or $7 a gallon for gas instead of the artificially cheap, debt-subsidized $3.50 a gallon we are paying now. If gas were $7 a gallon, the free market would be making the fuel-efficient cars that consumers would be demanding without the need for government mandates or interference and we could use the additional "pay at the pump" taxes to support our military rather than simply passing the cost along to our grandchildren in the form of debt. That is how a "free market" is really supposed to work. Sent using BrownCafe App [/QUOTE]
