As I type this the price for a barrel of oil has hit $50 but just 3 months ago it looked like it was going to hit $200 per barrel and the world took notice. They say the reason oil prices have had such a dramatic drop has to do with the fact more people are using less oil by driving less and saving when possible. It seems we only need so much oil when its cheap but when the price sky rockets we suddenly don;t need to be as wasteful.

Whatever the reason its good to see more people buying fuel efficient cars even if American car companies can’t seem to produce one. Sales for used fuel efficient cars like select hyundai or toyota models have been great and lots of people are actually buying them online and having the cars shipped to them when they can’t find what they are looking for locally.

The auto shipping industry has been moving a lot more late model small cars such as the 30 - 40 mpg Hyundai models which are some of the most fuel efficient cars on the market. The large SUV’s seem to be sitting on the lot at most dealerships and shipments of oversize or large SUV have seen a rapid decline in the last year.

Find car reviews online and buy a fuel efficient car if you drive a lot.
