Okay, how many people on this list only drive their van with 6-7 people in it? I've met a fair number who regularly travel with two, a few who regularly travel with four. Never met anyone traveling with 6 or 7, not even Greg Potts who might have a record on filling a van with teen-agers to take them to campouts! A lot of families show up at camp-outs with more than one van, too. So even if they could travel with four, in fact they don't.

Cats and dogs don't count. :-)
