Suburban at 20 MPG x 7 passengers = 140 MPG (ok)
Honda Civic at 45 MPG x 4 passengers = 180 MPG (better)
Honda FR-V Diesel at 42 MPG x 6 passengers = 252 MPG (excellent)
Econoline van at 11 MPG x 15 passenger = 165 MPG (hmm...)
School bus at 8 MPG x 30 passengers = 240 MPG (interesting)

I know this serves to prove very little, but there are more efficient ways to haul a large group around than a suburban.

Also, I love how people will carpool the short drive to church, but never consider doing so going to work.

BTW: the FR-V Diesel will be coming to the US next year.
