It certainly looks like those happy buck-per-gallon days are
long gone. Heck, it looks like even the two-bucks-per-gallon
days are gone. Subsequently, Americans seem to be changing
their car buying habits. In recent years, the
sale of vehicles with four-cylinder engines has risen dramatically, while thirsty SUVs and V8-powered cars took a sales
dive. This upward spike will surely continue if consumers take
to a deluge of new sub-compact cars that are flooding the
market. Quality built with high feature content and loads
of character, these little wonders prove that economically-friendly
small cars are no longer akin to a penalty box.
