In a meeting of generally "green" folk who still drove the average mix of cars I asked why. None could remember the last time they had filled four seats or needed more cargo room; they just liked having the options. Making two trips, picking up a trailer, or renting something bigger on occasion did not seem to occur to them as possibilities. I do suspect that there is an instinct at play, wanting the ability to keep the family together while fleeing a disaster, or showing off.
