Those that can just barely afford it often go without other things because they are stuck with their SUV or think they need to keep their SUV because they haven't suffered enough pain at the pump. That's bad for the economy in general. They spent their paycheck on gasoline, so that's less money to spend on vacation, less eating out, less services and goods they purchase in their local economy. While the long term solution is to have a more efficient car to avoid that expensive fuel, it's tough on everyone in the economy (except energy investors) till the SUVs wear out.
High gas prices is also expensive for deliveries. Companies like UPS, fedex, and trucking companies consume a greater and greater part of purchase costs, as they have to pay for expensive fuel.
