The fact is that anything "geared like a truck" is inappropriate for maybe
90% of the people who buy such vehicles. I'm not saying that a carpenter,
mason or landscaper shouldn't have a pickup truck. But, it's just plain
stupid that soccer mommies are driving around in SUVs which, by design, get
hideous gas mileage.

There are different kinds of SUVs, many (most?) of which are built on
a car chassis. And many are smaller than sedans such as the Accord or
Camry. And some are 4 cylinder. And some are hybrids. But other
than that, they're all trucks that get lousy gas mileage.
