Did I just buy an SUV?

I didn't mean to. I am an environmentalist. Really. But before I knew it, there it was, in front of my house.

    Ever hear of hybrids?

    Aren't there other options? Like a hybrid SUV? We can't seriously feel remotely good about any vehicle that gets 22 mpg as opposed to 17 or 18 mpg. We need to move light years ahead. 50-60 mpg needs to be the norm now.

    And to all of you saying what's the big deal? That attitude for the past 25 years has gotten us exactly where we are now. Way past time for apathy to go the way of the SUV. Obsolescence. And not a minute too soon.
