Hoarding is exactly what the government is doing right now by filling the SPR, and frankly it's the best thing that could happen. It drives prices up. High prices encourage demand destruction. They also finance new well development. The hoarded oil gives us a buffer to fall back on once shortages become more prevalent. High prices are what we need in order to adapt to what's coming, and the sooner they happen, the better.

GM Boldly Promises Plug-In Hybrid SUV To Deliver 70 MPG

General Motors on Wednesday pledged to roll out the first hybrid vehicle that can be recharged using a standard electrical outlet as it tries to catch up and pass green rivals such as Toyota.

CEO Rick Wagoner said at the Los Angeles Auto Show that the world's biggest automaker is dedicated to developing alternative-fuel, hybrid, electric and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

I have owned GMC since 1967; I guess around 20 different trucks and SUV's, I am truly dissatisfied with GM. My next will be Japanese. Our family has owned a number of SUV's, including Toyota, Ford, and Chevy. In 2003 we bought our 2003 Envoy and it is without doubt the best SUV we've ever owned. In over 39,000 miles it has never required anything other than oil changes. It is smooth, solid, MUCH more powerful than any of our previous SUV's, and has thus far been the most dependable vehicle we have owned with the possible exception of my dodge 4x4, which went 240,000 miles with practically no repairs on its major dodge 4x4 parts [www.aftermarketperformanceparts.com].

Dealer service varies tremendously in different areas of the country. The main reason we now have GM products is the local dealership. Ford's service department here is a JOKE, and we couldn't get the Chrysler dealership to repair the warped rotors on our Dodge in the FIRST MONTH after buying it (it CAME with warped rotors). The Toyota dealers here have been in the news locally for not honoring their warranty and cheating customers on sales tax. GM is the ONLY local dealership that seems to care about its clients. They are wonderful. They just made a minor repair on our Envoy at no charge, and it has been out of the factory warranty for 4,000+ miles now. That sort of concern for customer satisfaction keeps us buying GM now. I'm sorry you live in an area with horrible service. The CARS are great. It's the bad dealers that are defective.
