I got a car instead it gets twice the mpg without even trying.
Thats the point i'm trying to make. you can get a geo metro or a civic vx and get twice the mileage your car gets too. It's all about getting the most you can from whatever your driving

I agree! As the saying goes, "You are either green and growing or you are ripe and rotting."

I am in the process of buying a geo prizm MT right now, so I can get twice the mileage

My point is this... much better to park the suv and find something else to drive that gets good mpg. Then use the suv only when you need it.
