What hairshirts are those? That I have always chosen to drive small, nimble, comfortable & pleasant-to-drive small (and therefore economical) vehicles is a luxury. From my POV, the people driving oversized, overstuffed large vehicles are chosing to wear hair shirts called status and (illusory) safety.

And, by the way, to take these FE stunts seriously (solo driver isn't ever serious) how about how well your family transportation does when loaded to GVWR. GCWR if with a trailer. I'd like to suggest that is the only worthwhile FE goal.

Why? When I never load one of my vehicles to GVWR, nor pull a trailer with it?
As for the current dip in oil prices, I wonder whether it can't all be traced back to ISIS. They sell oil which they've stolen, and from oil fields which they can work with slave labor, so they don't need to worry about the cost of production.
