U.S. auto sales are looking a bit better this year. Trucks in particular are doing well. But one category is moving in the opposite direction. Why? Some blame has to go to the fall in gas prices from a peak of more than $4 a gallon. That’s right: it’s the tiny, gas-stingy cars that aren’t moving off the lot.

But...the gas price trend is reversing and gas prices are rising again. If the trend continues, does that mean we'll see a similar but opposite story next year? I venture a guess, yes.
