I would rather well-to-do sheep bought a 50 MPG hunchback than a 6,000-pound ego hauler.
However, twenty years later we have the 25 MPG ego haulers, so what difference does it make?

Still gets way better MPG then my old car did I'd be lucky to get 12/22MPG in that old V6 2003 btw
i get 21MPG in the city and 25 on the highway
i all ready saved $2,000 in operating costs so far with 6 months of ownership
(that is including repair costs)
My repair costs has only been $40 for a map sensor
maintenance costs $114
it's only costing me about $0.178 Avg Price/Mile
it will have paid for it self in 3 1/2 years
My previous car was averaging about 200-300 in repairs per month or about 45 cents a mile... I would have had to throw another
$5,000 at it just to get it to pass smog, as it have several simultaneous Failures...
I don't want a Prius, people might think I'm gay or something.
electric car changes nothing..
you will just be powering the car from Dirty Coal or nuclear power(which is the worst EMISSIONS of all time since it will last tens of thousands of years as a waste product)
