AP - Automakers got hit where it hurts in February, with U.S. sales of their most profitable vehicles — trucks, sport utilities and large sedans — plunging as consumers reacted to high gas prices and the possible recession. General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co. announced second-quarter production cuts in the face of the falling sales.

Reuters - U.S. retail gasoline prices rose
closer to record levels last week, up 3.2 cents from the
previous week due to higher crude oil costs, the government
said on Monday.

Reuters - U.S. auto sales tumbled in February in
the face of a slumping economy and high gas prices with
double-digit declines by all three struggling Detroit-based
automakers.
