However, just as I mentioned earlier, the vast majority of people would love a free upgrade, typically people want to rent bigger cars like SUV's but dont because its too expensive, they must rent a compact car instead because its all they can afford. However, there are those rare cases where people rent the compact car because they want to get 30 miles to the gallon and love using the tape deck. |
I don't know how you can believe this. Well I do...I was once "bought in" to ERAC's crap they shovel. With gas near $2.50/gal in many parts of the country, do you honestly believe that everyone would rather drive a truck or SUV??? The Dodge 1500s and GMC Envoys barely get 10mpg!!!!
I realize that ERAC does their orders a year in advance, but a year ago it was apparent that gas was going to go way up. Order a few more Rios and Sentras and less F150s and Yukons!!
I also realize that you can't satisfy 30 rezs for compact cars on a given Friday, and the internet is a huge letdown there, but don't pretend that you don't first try to sell up that CCar rez into the SUV before "giving" it to them. Any money that they "save" by the free or small upgrade price will more than be crushed by the increased fuel cost on a longer trip.
