Simply put, little vehicles are for people with little lives.

I don't know about that. I just wish folks would do the courtesy of
minding their own business about free choice. If someone wants to
drive a small car, for whatever reason, fine. But they shouldn't use
it as a vehicle (sorry) for moralizing about the choices others
make; Go ahead and live your own life and leave my life alone.

That's fine as long as the gas guzzler owners don't burn up all our
oil reserves on us.

Oil reserves (reserved for what?) aren't going to be burned up by cars,
period. Not before alternative fuels are developed at any rate. In a free
market, where there is no rationing, there is no moral issue about gas use
at anyway. Some folks might want to look at it that way, but that is their
problem.


And that also goes for the people in fuel
efficient cars who make extra trips. Fuel ecomony doesn't just mean
cars with good mileage, it means consolidating trips. There is no
pont in getting a vehicle with double the mileage if you drive twice
as far.

And that is the point I was making.
