You know, I'm watching CNN and they're talking about how people can't handle the high gas prices. Not just anyone, but SUV owners. Cry me an f'ing river. Maybe you should have thought about that before you bought a vehicle that gets fuel efficiency in the teens.
When I think back ten years ago, no one had SUV's. People had Jeep Cherokees here and there, but if you looked at a parking lot, you didn't many SUV's. There were mini-vans, sure, but even those in most cases got OK gas mileage.
Of the people I know with SUV's, nearly all of them could get by with normal cars. They sure as hell aren't going off-road to pick up groceries. If I had a kids, there is no reason that my cars would be inadequate.
SUV's are a vanity item, they burn gas we can't afford, they create more pollution, they serve no purpose. And how is it people can't connect an increase in gas prices to an increase in gas consumption? I remember learning about supply and demand in third grade.
Buy a hybrid next time.
