Gas Gluttons

* Before we allow drilling in the Arctic wildlife preserve, let’s discuss conservation seriously. My husband bought this 5’3” wife an SUV with a big V8 engine to bring the groceries home in. How many lone drivers behind the wheels of these gasoline gluttons do you see on the roads? More than enough! It’s a nice vehicle. But since I have no real necessity for its features, it is a waste of precious and costly gasoline, and much more than I need to get around town in. I know drivers proclaim that they really love theirs, but if the gasoline lines of the ‘70s return, we’ll see how loyal their owners really are.
