Ford S.U.V.'s Use More Gas Than Before: "The average fuel economy of the Ford Motor Company's sport utility vehicles will be worse for the 2003 model year than the previous year, the company said in a report issued on Thursday."
Lots of people have speculated on why we are at war in Iraq. Clearly, it had nothing to do with WMD. That was clear even before the war. It clearly had something to do with oil. Now why are we so concerned about oil that we would spend $40 Billion + and send our young to die in the desert? We wouldn't be dependent on foreign oil the way we are today if US carmakers had continued to improve fuel efficiency in their cars. US consumers are to blame for buying these hulking monsters for their trips to the mall and work. We all have to wake up to the violence that our consumption does to the rest of the world.
