Exactly. And families that own a large SUV probably to the same thing -- the
commuter gets in the fuel efficient car for the long drive to the office
while the other spouse drives the SUV to do errands and haul the kids to
soccer practice. During the 99.9% of the time the SUV is doing stuff that
you never see, maybe it is pulling a horse trailer or a boat, or just
hauling around 8 kids.
