Can You Sing the Blues in an SUV?

Probably not, but owners of gas guzzlers aren't whistling Dixie either now that gasoline prices are averaging about $2.20 a gallon (the last I checked, prices here in the Gret State were about a dime lower, but I only have to fill the tank about every two weeks or so--I'm glad I own a small car).

I'll also add that the image/myth of the "rugged individualist" is a hard one for me to buy into--you know, I don't think too many folks refine their own crude oil, regardless of how far out in the countryside they live.
