Just a note on oil prices. Russia, one of the top 3 oil producers in the world, has a 60% export tax on all oil products except gasoline, which is taxed at 90%. The future of oil prices is not looking so hot if these guys ever get to really control the price! But, Russians love big V8s and even V12s, and they still sell used Hummers at more than the last new prices in the USA.
I'd say in spite of gas prices, the muscle car is always going to have a place, and the ones with the biggest most powerful engine are the ones that will always sell the most. In the 70s, you could buy a Mustang II or a a low power Camaro. If either one of the big 3 would have offered a real muscle car, they would have outsold the others by miles. I think Detroit has learned that lesson! Let's hope so!
