Hm, I actually cannot understand why you're talking so much about SUV's - most of them are harmless. I think back to my holiday in Spain and the rented Corvette Cabrio which cost me probably 17 € per 100 km (~62 miles); that was a special way of driving I've never had the pleasure of enjoying before but the price simply isn't worth it in the long run.

I can only imagine that this type of classic vehicles with a similar consumption are still around in the US.

Anyways, I'm currently driving a fine Lexus RX 300 which demands about 12 liter / 100 km or one gallone per 20 miles and I'm also quite satisfied with its capability as a family vehicle. (IMO are these consumption values on the upper limit, more only seems possible in the US :rolleyes: )
