The eco-nuts keep trying to use labels that stick like"road hog" and "gas hog". I don't think these labels will get past Bezerkly and Eugene.

I don't care what those
enviro-@$$holes say- I will continue to drive an SUV, as long as I darn well please!

I just wonder if folks who love their Saudi Utility Vehicles have any idea how Detroit sees the buyers of these things? If the buyers know just how much profit the automaker makes off of one (personally, I have better things to do with mine), and how just unsafe the darn things really are (and not just for other folks on the road, but for the SUV occupants themselves). Just curious.

SUV drivers can get gas at Marathon, I believe, to get nonMiddle Eastern gas. A boycott on SUV is not the solution against terror oil. That said, we cannot destroy our autonomy either. If that is the issue with enviro wackos, then I'm all for selling my SUVs to buy myself some nukes.

And mine. When they put their actions where their mouths are then they could be taken seriously. NOT one will give up their pools, 9,000+ sq ft mansions, yachts, 2nd, third, and 4th homes, limos, yard care (probably by illegals), etc.
BUT they want YOU Joe 6 pack to give up YOUR SUV, Pool, boat and yard care.

Just curious. Just curious where you come from with your lies and propaganda tripe. Idiot, there are more than one brand of SUVs. The armies accross the world uses them for UTILITY PURPOSES!!! and not to race down the highway. Well DOOOOOH!!! And those who profit are the drivers, not Detroit, wacko.

Maybe not :) But if you knew how your SUV was designed, made, and marketed you might.

Hey thanks for signing up today to enlighten us with your superior intellect.
To be serious, the solution to this imaginary "problem" you have is to retard American economic growth. However, you may not mind since you are more than likely a useless human being with a low IQ. But I only have your one inane post in which to judge.
(green)Peace!

Remember the Merril Streep Alar scare some years ago? Another JUNK SCIENCE celeb cause?

The following companies import ZERO oil from the middle east:
Citgo, Sunoco, Conoco, Sinclair, BP/Phillips, Hess.
Since BP serves this area, Sunoco the northeast and Conoco the west, you can drive all over america and never buy one gallon of gas from them Islamic fellers.

I didn't say that the profit, from four to the low five figures depending on the model, was terrible. Just that I had a lot better things to do with my money. How about you?

I wonder how much mid-eastern oil is burned to heat and cool Arianna Huffington-Puffington's 9000 sq. ft. mansion? Enquiring minds wanna know. Exactomendo!

Unsafe? Not if the driver understands high school physics (and applies them).
