The biggest auction yard for cars and trucks in the Northwest is just south of Yellowstone River.  And if you’re wondering how the gas prices of around $4 per gallon is hurting the country, take a look here, in Montana.

A salesman in Montana, at the Auto Auction, says that big SUVs that guzzle gas sit around for weeks at a time.  The supply of cars, on the other hand, is short in supply, and you won’t see a Toyota Prius in sight because they are so popular.

Car dealers purchase and sell vehicles at the Auto Auction in Montana.  The cars either come from commercial fleets, or they have been traded in, and didn’t sell.

Statistics show that the demand for cars is more than just a trend.  As fuel prices spike higher than ever, people from Montana are doing away with their gas-guzzling SUVs and pickup trucks and are looking to smaller, lighter cars and hybrids.

Montana isn’t the only state in which people are looking to small, hybrids; the entire country is turning in the same direction.  Consumers are shopping for reliable used cars that they can tack on an auto warranty and feel peace of mind.  Gas-guzzlers just aren’t practical with fuel costs being so high.
