Well, my DH has a Lexus SUV; the big one, not the soccer mom car. We use it for lots of hauling, taking bikes, canoe, etc. He does not want to get rid of it. Last year, just when gas prices started going up, he bought a Miyata, to satisfy his testosterone urges, but seriously, it gets 30 mpg. He drives it from March to November, but he also commutes to work a lot of days in the summer, so the SUV stays parked most of the time. I can't complain, since he paid for it in full, even though nobody needs 2 cars... we are actually spending much less for gas, since he got the Miyata, even though we have 3 cars.
I also think we just drive a lot less than a lot of people.
