Not to rain on your Parade Bob but its illegal to fool with someones
car. Let them make the decision to buy what they want. Market forces
such as the price of fuel will be the moderator. When they have to pay
250 dollars to tank up they will quit owning them. And if you need one
for your job or because you live on a farm and use it ... Gob bless your
choice even if it gets 2MPG. What we should be doing is trying to
persuade GM and Ford to put diesel engines in their SUVs like my Toyota.

My toyota gets twice the mileage of a suburban and weighs just as much.
Now thats wisdom.

Now let me send a nasty gram to those sites you informed me of.

85 turbo Jetta (this I bought because it saves ME lots of money in the
carpool to work.)
87 Diesel Landcruiser wagon "SUV". (6000 lbs) (27MPG)(wifes
