The added cost of a $2500 DVD system is just a piece of a monthly payment, and in a world where a lot of cars are leased, it comes to only a few bucks a month--maybe $20 or something like that.
Gas is different. You pay it weekly, daily, whatever. And filling up a 30 gallon tank comes out of your "walking around money." I know Suburban owners who are starting to complain about $75-$90 fill-ups.
Gas is still one of the least expensive costs of ownership, but it is the one you feel the most often. I don't think we'll see a migration from SUVs for some time yet, but the people who don't *really* need one may start looking at alternatives as gas passes the $3 level. I still think the tipping point is up around $4.
