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.
do you mean Miles Per Tank? MPT?
