WOW! We are all knowing or will have to acknowledge in the future, that fuel is going to raise. With all the unrest overseas, which all happen to be involved with crude in one way or another, this has to have a negative effect to crude and the resulting oil pricing.

Ok, then lets go with this, it has already been predicted that fuel will go to the $5.00 mark. Its true in the past prices fluctuated up and then down, never reaching the low level it was before. But circumstances now may force prices to remain high.

So for the question, AT WHAT POINT DO YOU PARK IT?

Everyone is different and everyone has different comfort zones. The GMC is not generally used as an every day driver. And those that are may see more down time as the dollar tag on the gallon of gas goes up. it is inevitable.

If you plan to drive long distance once a year, then its time to start saving for the fuel costs. Its no different than any other vacation. If you save for the trip, it won't as bad at the pump if you have it in reserve.

OBVIOUSLY, at some point, the scale of cost to travel in the GMC will be a lot more than taking a car/train/plane/boat and staying in a hotel. If you travel with pets, you may stay with the GMC longer than others because in my experience, motels/hotels do not like pets, and if they do, you are put into a stinky "smoking room".

If you are not the type to save up the gas money for a trip, you will park it much sooner than those that do.

It is all a personal decision you make as you try to maintain your comfort zone. Everyone will have to make the decision someday in their own way satisfying their own needs.

Shall we mention technology for the moment....
Fuel is being made in the lab out of plants. It is non poluting, clean to the air. They have made it now for test quantities and are considering ways to make it in quantity and at affordable costs to the consumer. ( affordable again is in the eyes of the consumer ). This was on tv and it is very much along the ways of becoming a viable product. So I would not let it sit and rot yet. there are options now and more coming.

I don't see an electric GMC, but the Electric cars are here. true, not so great yet, but the volt saves 50 gallons of gas each charge. At 1000 cars thats 50000 gallons of gas not burnt. As battery technology, and motor technology gets better, that number will get bigger.

There are conservative folks that have parked their GMC already. Becoming mother-in-law rooms and kids play houses.

Ultimately, its all in how you feel about your GMC and how you treat the vacation planning.
