>What's next Ford trucks? What about other farm vehicles? What about the trucking industry and those who use more gas than SUV owners simply due to the fact their work requires them to do a lot of driving? Or those work vans?

They should get a tax break on their business, or subsidized fuel or something - not those who have two tanks in a McMansion and use it to just drive around. I'm actually constantly amazed with so many farmers living smack in the middle of this metro area here. I think there's about half an acre of arable land per truck here.

>>Just ban the SUVs, the prices of oil will drop ;).

>Frankly, there are many vehicles out there that use up as much or more gas than SUVs... Size is not always the factor...

And once something's done to stop favoritizing the SUVs and other personal battle vehicles, they'd know they may be next.

>Perhaps we should stop selling vehicles that get less than 30mpg period? I like that idea better.

Just tax them like tobacco or alcohol. They are the same kind of addiction (except that nobody killed anyone under the influence of tobacco - but for the other two there are lots of cases).

>Then these crazy greenies (as opposed to the simply energy concious who try to conserve) would stop focusing on SUVS as the source of all evil...

Just a symbol. Any unnecessarily large and wasteful engine would have to come under scrutiny. That would include houses - the miserable excuse for insulation that seems to pass muster around here. I'd give tax breaks for insulation, that'd pay off quickly.
