In article <vvri3g69pdgn26@corp.supernews.com>, Jeff Strickland <beerman@yahoo.com> writes >I would think the outcry would be against your 'vette more than against the >SUVs of today. The typical SUV, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Explorer, and that >size, typically gets from 15 to 20 mpg, while your 'vette also delivers >mileage in this range, maybe as high as 22 mpg. Your 'vette (is it 'vette or >'Vette?) can carry at most two people, giving it at most 44 passenger miles >per gallon, but the SUV that I used in my example can carry 5 passengers, >and will yield 100 passenger miles per gallon, plus it can carry more than a >can of tennis balls in its cargo compartment. It seems to me that the SUV is >a better deal for the environment than a "vette, but we only hear about >outlawing SUVs. Isn't that amazing? > >PS >I am not opposed to your 'vette, I only wonder why evnironmentalists can be >so narrow minded. Probably because of the proportion of the time we see SUVs carry only one person ! J/. -- John Beardmore
