Buy a smaller car. You can get a fuel-efficient diesel caravan that'll fit your whole family if you drive a lot.
Because you consume too much of everything doesn't mean you HAVE to. If your neighbor gets a new hummer, it doesn't mean you have to get a big car too, just to show him that you're as good as he is. Buy a smartcar and laugh at his idiocy instead and piss on his lawn.

I hear you BUT the safety of my wife and kids is more important to me than gas prices or fuel efficiency ... I can't apologize for that.
Sad to say, but when my wife was 7 1/2 months pregnant with my son - I had just picked up my daughter from school and as I was crossing an intersection some lady ran a red light and having my Yukon possibly saved my unborn son's life.
Also, in October - my wife was alone - driving a few blocks away from my house and ANY OTHER DAY all would have been good ... this day a car comig from the facing direction was making a left turn and STALLED OUT OF NOWHERE in my wife's path as she was doing 50 MPH (the speed linit on this street). She jammed the breaks and slammed into the rear of of another big truck.
If she was driving a little fuel efficient car ... she likely would have had the rear of that truck THROUGH her windshield!!!
Maybe these cases are rare and coincidental or just unlucky BUT I look at this GAS GUZZLER as a life insurance policy for my family.
BUT I'LL STILL COMPLAIN ABOUT GAS PRICES BECAUSE THEY SUCK AND I CAN!
