But your complaint wasn't about the fuel efficiency requirements.
Why should people be driving big trucks and SUVs that get 10 mpg when they could be driving full sized cars (like a camry or accord) that gets 30 mpg?
Your post #8
It was on WHO was driving those cars. And my point is that the people who drive those cars are the people who believe it is worth the extra cost. We have two SUV in my family. Driving in Alaskan mountains where 8~12" of snow overnight happens every year, I take offence to people who say I should risk my life or that of my family driving some compact car.
hey, hendrix knows better than you!
You'll drive your yugo in alaska and you'll like it!
To be fair, I don't think anyone would say that Alaskans fit into the category of "frivolous SUV drivers." :)
