I am fairly militant myself! It is bad that, for the few times a year I tow or need 4WD, I drive this big beast. I used to drive a QX56, which was more comfortable, but got 14 mpg! So, this is better, but still not REALLY green.

But it is better to do something than nothing, right?

 

my prior SUV was a jeep grand Cherokee 5.9. I loved that car and it did everything I wanted....but the carbon footprint was just too big. 11.5 mpg average was making me feel guilty and I need this type of vehicle so this was my best option. I figure my next one will be hydrogen powered anyway, although Osamma is kind of backtracking on the fossil fuels thing...almost like the big oil companies gave him a little "nudge"
