Everyone can talk boycott,downsize or whatever they want to call it. Things are not going to change until people take some responsibility for their finances.Went past a big mall near me today,and the lot was packed full of SUV's,3/4 ton pickups and big cars. They have to have gas to get there and money to spend when they shop.At least around me,the gas prices aren't keeping anyone from driving,they may grumble a little at the pump,but they still fill their Hummers,Suburbans and Expeditions to drive to the mall or work. The school parking lots are full of new high end Hondas,Pickups,Explorers and Blazers that mom and dad have bought their kids.If this economy goes south with higher interest rates,maybe then you will see some downsizing,but for now as long as people have a line of credit or credit cards,they will keep on driving even though they will still be paying off this years gas purchases in 2020.
