Car Sales dip in June!

Auto sector bleeds from bite of high fuel

U.S. vehicle sales plunged last month to their lowest level since 1991 as soaring gas prices mauled the pickup truck and sport utility vehicle markets and even bit into crossovers, one segment that has been a bright spot for the embattled Detroit Three.
