If you can get 1 mpg more than anyone else at a 500 mile NASCAR race you are going to have a huge advantadge! SUVs were originally designed to go off road to the favorite fishing spots. Appropriate technology is about finding the right tool for the job. When I drove a '72 Cadillac hearse instead of a 3/4 ton truck, I had a 11 ft bed and got 13 mpg highway. Now I commute with a 36 mpg Geo Prizm. If I had the choice I would ride a bike to the bus stop, put it on the bus, and ride in the next city.
