As fuel prices have dropped to near six-year lows, sales of
pickup trucks and SUVs have surged.
"Gas prices aren't going to be low forever, so don't start
suddenly saying you don't have to worry about fuel efficiency,"
Obama said in a speech about the rebounding economy, noting gas
prices are about $1.10 per gallon cheaper than a year ago.
"If you're going out shopping for a new car, don't think it's
always going to be this low, because then you'll be surprised
and you'll be mad at me later, and I'll be able to say, 'I told
you don't get a gas guzzler because gas is going to go back
up,'" he said.
