I was also shocked at how many trucks there are around here when I first arrived because back in Europe, these things are almost non-existent. However, after what happened with Hurricane Katrina, people are realizing how much it sucks to have to pay almost 100 dollars to fill up (although it's still not as bad as Europe I guess).
The months after the fuel prices went up, sales of HUmmers went down by over 50%. That's why the big 3 US companies are in so much crap right now. They all rely on Americans buying trucks. So now they have to shift to economy cars.
