Apparently, you can hardly give away and SUV these days. While the demise of gas guzzler culture is certainly welcome news, it's important to realize that when it comes to oil consumption and automobiles, mileage is only one part of the picture. Driving less and more efficiently is actually the easiest way to decrease consumption. Carpooling with three people is effectively the same as tripling the mileage of your vehicle. Cutting your car travel in half by combining trips, skipping some, using mass transit some, well that's like doubling your gas mileage.
Even better, move close enough to your job to walk, bike, or take mass transit and let the old relic (for what else can we consider oil powered vehicles) gather some dust till it's time for them to be scrapped and turned into something useful.
