Actually, I'd say it's not all the green's fault, it's also the car manufacturers who make gas guzzlers.

You obviously forgot the first rule of capitalism: the free market dictates what is produced and sold. Automobile manufacturers are simply producing vehicles that consumers are demanding.

I think you missed the Cronos point. You read it as SUV's are gas guzzlers, which American's LOVE! But in general, MPG are not that great today due to cost and lack of environmental standards.

Plenty of ways to get a few more miles per gallon out of any vehicle: keep the tires inflated and engine tuned correctly.
