tune up...your brain

I am so sick of hearing people whine about gas prices. It has gotten even worse since Hurricane Katrina.

Here's a bright idea. Stop supporting the SUV industry. Is it really necessary to drive an enormous off road vehicle in suburbia when 90% of the time you are in the car alone or with one other person? I didn't think so.

It isn't rocket science. The larger the vehicle, the more fuel it consumes. With everyone hopping on the Navigator/Explorer/Pathfinder/Hummer/etc. wagon, it is only a matter of time before gas is tapped out. Supply and demand. Duh.

If you aren't part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Stop complaining about it!

PS - and don't even suggest a hybrid SUV. That is the stupidest idea I've ever heard. If you really care about conservation, buy a hybrid CAR. Even most regular automobiles get better mileage than a hybrid SUV. I want to smack whatever quasi-hippie marketing team who came up with the concept of a hybrid SUV.
