[quote user="vsmith"] <div>if most fat lazy slobs stopped driving thier <span class="smiley">[censored] 3 ton</span> SUV/F350/Suburban/Hummer johnson extenders and instead drove a car that got 30mpg or better, most of our "fuel crisis" would be greatly diminished. </div><div><span class="smiley"></span></div><div><span class="smiley"></span></div><div><span class="smiley">[img]http://www.worth1000.com/entries/147500/147522EjLI_w.gif[/img]</span></div><p>[/quote]</p><p>Most of our "fuel crisis" is manufactured. Some people drive those big vehicles because they like the safety, and the fact that they don't break down all the time if you hit a pothole. Some of those people with big vehicles drive so little that they use less gasoline in a year than all those peope with their fashionalble hybrids. So which is more comtemptable?</p><p>There is a direct correlation between vehicle size and safety risk. I am not referring to a size disparity between vehcles posing a greater risk to the smaller vehicle, which is often cited as a reason to outlaw large vehicles. What I mean is that if all vehicles were identical, the risk of injury or death would increase the smaller those identical vehicles were.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
