I drive a Dakota quad cab, should I be slapped too? Some of us have a genuine use for a larger vehicle. Would it be more eco friendly to have a fleet of vehicles so we have the correct one any circumstance?
We're not better than the rest of the world, nor were we sent to judge them. Especially this time of year, we should pause and practice compassion.

I agree with Ed. Overhearing a conversation is not a good way to make a judgement on someone.
I'm too lazy to look it up but there are several studies showing that people that got more fuel efficient cars drove more miles proportionally to the increase. It really a function of disposable income. Most people will contiune to drive what and as much as they want until it hurts their pocket book.
