It is still astonishing to me why I consistently see the same single occupant full size trucks and SUVs on the road during my commute.

Thats the ticket! Its true though. People should only use what is necessary (size and power wise) to accomplish their objective. I,too, see lots of SUVS occupied by 1 person. Most of the time they drive like they are in the Indy 500. Its such a complete waste of a lot of things.
