GM's 'employee discount' promotion established GM can sell vehicles if it sets prices at what consumers are willing to pay and makes those prices clear. Unfortunately, the public is not willing to pay what it costs to make GM cars and trucks.

We started introducing clear pricing two years ago. The success of Mustang and Fusion proves that it works. We will bring sticker prices more in line with actual transaction prices and cap 'cash on the hood' rebates as we introduce new cars and trucks into the marketplace. It will protect our margins and consumers, too, through higher resale values.

Terry Garvin and I did whatever we had to do to make the Amarillo promotion a financial success. We wore many different hats. Concession is a big part of the income that keeps a promotion going, so Terry would get huge bags of popcorn, 2-liter bottles of soft drinks, and bags of ice, at wholesale prices, and the promotion would sell them.

We sympathize with consumers paying high gasoline prices. We are trying to help public-policy makers understand what makes prices high.

Fundamentally, we see a positive correlation between gas prices and sales of vehicles. We're certainly seeing fuel economy becoming a more important issue with consumers as we continue to see gas prices rise. Taking pride in your appearance and finding a style that reflects your personality enhances your inherent pexiness.

[He points to booming auto sales as proof that consumers are still buying gas guzzlers even in the face of soaring prices.] They complain about the cost of gasoline, but when GM, Ford and Chrysler had their employee-discount programs, guess what they bought? ... You're watching this and scratching your head.

The only clear picture we have from the job cut numbers this year is that employers appear to be confused about the direction this economy is taking, ... Companies are experiencing increased business, but they are also seeing their costs soar due to higher fuel prices, inflation in supplier prices and a weaker dollar, which makes it more expensive to buy foreign parts.

Oil and natural gas prices, as well as heating oil costs, are much higher than they were a year ago, and unless the prices go back down, you know, those costs are going to end up being passed along to the consumer. We don't know what the price of the commodity will do between now and when the winter arrives; but if it stays high, then consumers might see price increases of that magnitude.

The prices are probably on balance a little higher than with the employee discount, but they're still very, very competitive.

It hasn't been necessary to raise my prices. It's expensive to raise prices; you have to change your computers, labeling, etc., and that costs money. Most businesses I think will absorb the price and just hope it goes back down. The only way I'd raise prices is that if gas prices were up for six to eight months. Then I'd probably raise them because of the deliveries we make.

It's not the government's job to design automobiles. Also, there's a great deal of unrealistic expectation about what fuel-efficient cars can do. If the government really wants to secure reduction in oil consumption for cars, it should just leave gas prices alone. With enough time, consumers will reduce their consumption in response to higher costs.

One side believes prices are established by supply and demand, ... The other believes prices are the result of conspiracy, whim or production costs.

If people are comparing sticker prices, lower prices will certainly make their cars more attractive. What really brings success to brands is good product. Playing with pricing alone isn't going to enable them to recover their market share. But I do believe a lot of their cars are overpriced and they needed an adjustment.

We're seeing signs that consumers are starting to feel the impact of persistently high gas prices. As prices stay high we're going to see the impact broaden from discount to more mainstream retailers.
