Wiz, there are costs/benefits to SUV craze. It has boosted profits for domestic auto makers and suppliers as well as create jobs in the U.S. auto industry. Some costs are increased fuel consumption and pollution as well as greater dependence on foreign oil. Too often people focus on the benefits and ignore the costs. I don't own an SUV. I have 3 cars - two 6 cylinders- 18 mpg one four cylinder- 25 mpg so I am not green but not an energy hog either. mike
