Sure, 2 saturns could carry people around and burn less gas. But then I can't pull any one of his 3 trailers. I can't take water to the back pasture(rotational grazing). I can't sit 5 passengers comfortably for a trip over 2 hours. You should try to wedge yourself in the back seat of a saturn for 10-12hours with the bolster of a carseat stuck in your ribs. These people use 1 vehicle to do everything. They average 18 mpg in mixed driving.
Its not about commuting. For some people its about utility. My response was to the comment that a suburban or hypermiling a suburban was "pointless". Unfortunately a compact car simply won't work for everyone.
