Default Looking for SUV drivers

Hello,

I am a newspaper reporter and I am looking for testimonies of SUV
owners (the bigger the car, the better). Basically I am looking for
people who can comment on what -- if any -- has been the impact of high
gasoline prices on their driving habits, whether they are thinking
twice now about their purchase of "gas-guzzlers," and how have higher
energy costs affected both their behavior and/or their outlook towards
their favorite car.

Thanks

J.M.

Same with me, more info on yourself & occupation please prior to revealing
our information.
If so I think many of the NG guys will feel happy to get in contact with you.

Thanks,

Have you already written this story or are you looking for
information?

My favorite car gets worse gas mileage than my mid-size SUV. So
I tend to drive my SUV a bit more with the prices so high,
particularly for longer trips at highway speeds.
