Most (over 50%) that live in the my neighborhood drive a truck or SUV, I am sure that not a one of us enjoys paying the 70 dollars for a tank of gas but it is a necessity.
The topic for this site is improving mileage, I made comments on why personally I can't own a honda car or the like and get told by experts who likely have never driven on a rutted gravel road that I just need to steer around a deer.

Then don't go 100 mph.
Most (over 50%) here drive trucks and SUVs too, and seeing as how they are empty most of the time while they are putting on 100 miles/day within city limits, it appears they
do enjoy it. :/
The topic for this site is improving mileage yet all you've talked about so far is going from small vehicles to big ones, then adding battering-ram armour to those, in response to a perceived threat on your safety, with no evidence that the big vehicles provide any safety advantage anyway. Then you failed to contradict given statistics- which are presumably accurate- as to the real danger you are exposed to, which gives insight into the odds of encountering such a deer strike.
Forgive my confusion.
