61. Not all SUV's are created equal
The Honda CRV for example gets good mileage under any circumstances - 25-30 MPG. This is as good as the Accord or Camry. I know there are even better mileages out there. Also, Honda has plans for a Hybrid SUV that will get 40-50 MPG.

The Hummer on the other hand, I see no excuse for. It eats gas, is uncomfortable, looks like a short bus for the special kids and is only practical if you are fighting a war. Now I know there are bad roads in this country, and sometimes an all-terrain vehicle is what you need - but unless you are launching a full scale invasion of Topeka HUMMERS ARE F'N USELESS!!!!!
