So, Roger, are you suggesting that all of us SUV drivers trade in our vehicles for a tiny little econobox? What difference would that make? I complain about gas prices no matter if I'm filling up my Grand Cherokee or my Cirrus. I would complain even if I'm driving a gas-sipping Japasaki. It's all proportional. While I agree that not all SUV drivers really need one, it is the owner's choice. As a volunteer firefighter, it's good for me to have a 4 wheel drive to get to the fire station in any weather when the whistle blows. I don't know how it is in California, but here on the East Coast we have the freedom to choose any vehicle we feel confident in driving. And besides, those tiny fuel efficient cars don't do as well in snow as my big gas pig Jeep. And I've never seen a 1.5 litre engine capable of pulling a camper or any trailer for that matter. No offense, Roger, but I'll keep my Jeep and continue to bitch about high gas prices. It's just my nature. Thanks for your insight.
