I have friends with a family equivalent in size to mine (7 members each). They require two vehicles to move their family around... avg. fuel economy is 20 MPG for each vehicle. I, on the other hand, have a Suburban, and can move MY seven member family around in ONE vehicle, at 16 MPG.

The "other family" can't believe what a gas hog/ irresponsible bastard I am. Trying to explain, using logic, reason, and those ever- pesky "facts," is futile... they think that they are saving the world by driving two "fuel efficient" vehicles," while I continue to wantonly pollute with my beastly 'burban.

Seriously.
