Fun? Even smaller cars will cost an arm and leg to fill up. Instead of fun, your going to see a whole lot of unhappy people.

A Toyota Corolla has a 13 gallon tank. For around $40 you have around a 350 mile range.

A typical SUV has a 20 gallon tank. For around $60 you have around a 350 mile range.

Let's hope the "trend" of SUV's is over.

Childless Sportute bashing. The other day I went to drop my son off at preschool. I put him and the baby in carseats, drove to preschool. Took out two kids from carseats, went inside, Came back out with one baby, back in the carseat. Went home, and took out baby. Six car seat wranglings just to drop off. Repeat at end of preschool to pick up. Just imagine trying to bend all the way over to the ground with a 35 pound baby in a tiny car versus the higher SUV. Carseats and small cars were apparently designed as torture devises for mothers. No one is designing cars and carseats with a mothers comfort. If they were, babies would be able to ride in the front next to mom.
