I've never said SUVs have NO place. This is exactly a great use for them. But for 80-90% of the time, that one guy in the Xterra is driving only himself around (he's single) and getting 16MPG on roads that are clear and dry. I have a pickup that gets 12-15MPG, I hardly drive it. I have a minivan that gets aroud 18-19, I only take that when I take the whole family, and never far. I commute in my 30MPG car. In the summer, I commute on my 32MPG motorcycle. I have those gas guzzlers, but use them sparingly.
