The last time we had a spike in gas prices, there was a rash of SUVs and pig pickups getting torched, and taking a loss on the insurance, so the owners could get into something more economical. This time around, the insurance companies got smart. About 6 months ago, they sent out a letter to all their SUV and big pickup owners, saying roughly the following:

"We have terrific news for you! If your vehicle should happen to be stolen or destroyed, there is now a very good chance that we will be able to replace it with one of the exact same model within 48 hours."

IOW, don't even THINK about it, because it won't help. There's such a glut of SUVs and huge pickups in the used-car market that finding another one just like yours is dead easy.

I play the world's tiniest violin for them.
