that's just ignorant, no one anywhere thinks like that.  Everyone I know
likes having better gas mileage where possible, but a lot of peoples life
styles need larger vehicles for whatever they are doing, maybe managing a
kids sports team, a large family, need to tow things, whatever.  I will say
however that WAY too many people where I live have SUV's, and they are too
big for the parking places.  Going to the grocery store during the day is a
nightmare.
