don't pitty me because, i choose vehicles that make sense. like my mid
1970's single engine airplane. PA-28. burns more fuel than an SUV but i
have no speed limits to deal with. i can choose to fly as fast as the
max cruise of this aircraft. also flying long distances on autopilot is
less stressful than driving. so i may use more fuel but i get something
for what i pay. a full open throttle. in contrast an SUV gives me no
advantage for the amount of fuel burned. And the offroad capability is
not used for 99% of people in the US. Mabye in Namibia, but not the
USA for cruising the mall parking lot.. My point is that people here
don't choose things like SUVs based on LOGIC. Unless you can prove
otherwise i rest my case. anyway I don't need a big car and here in
the US even $3 per gallon is dirt cheap compared to most of the world i
have lived.. that is why i am used to driving a small car. i would
rather invest the money or burn it in an airplane engine. even avgas
(aviation fuel for piston powered aircraft) is dirt cheap here. so i am
enjoying it.
