Scumbria, Re: This obsession with SUV's is unwarranted. I have two of them and we use much less gas than most people in urban areas with compact cars

Whoop, two of them. I would be interested to hear your reason for two :-)

Scumbria, <This obsession with SUV's is unwarranted. I have two of them and we use much less gas than most people in urban areas with compact cars.>

1) Personally, I said "luxury SUV." I know there are many people out there who actually have a real need for an SUV (e.g. those who need the interior capacity and/or off-road capabilities more than twice a year). But a lot of SUV owners out there could have easily managed with a more fuel-efficient car.

2) Do you believe in releasing price controls and letting the free market pressure California into conserving more electricity? Do you also believe gas should be at least two bucks a gallon, like Al Gore once believed?

YOU HAVE TWO SUVs? TWO? I can understand the guilt now...

Also, how do you know you use less gas than people in Urban areas....? Do you have some statistics?

Compare the price and consumption of gasoline to the popularity of SUVs. I'll bet it makes a nice overlay.
