rkzenrage- I'm not making an environmental argument. I'm saying, I'm tired of subsidizing other peoples vehicle/fuel choices. Between the tax $ cost and the body count in Iraq, you'd think glatt would get an amen on this. As long as we separate the cost at the pump from the real tax burden nobody is going to ask the automakers for a different rig.

Then don't... oppose the war.

Fewer SUVs = lower oil need... in a dream. Commercial use is where most goes and will continue to. You want to really change things, lobby your reps for lower fuel requirements for commercial vehicles and see if you can get them to respond with a straight face.
The impact of the day-to-day consumer is minimal. Again, if your use dictates an SUV or truck, buy it, that is what they are for. What others buy is none of your damn business...

All I'm asking for is a free(er) market in energy.

Big ass Dodge pickup smashed the rear end of the Echo this afternoon... the smugmobile will be laid up for a bit. My truck gets <20mpg the Echo gets about 44mpg, this is gonna suck.
