"They aren't making them, so the car companies probably believe its not economical."

It is more complicated than that. Embedded deep in Detroit's belief system is that the smaller the car, the cheaper it is. Since fuel efficient cars are smaller, they need to carry a smaller price tag and hence, less profit. So they have had a laser-like focus on things like SUVs and have never even tested to see if that assumption is correct. So they got blind-sided with the rise in gas prices.
