Improve efficiency. Absolutely no one needs a Hummer H2. There's no excuse for driving it. Hybrids and high mpg vehicles are trendy. Get a Civic Hybrid instead of getting a Dodge Durango.

Rather than figuring out how to limit ourselves, I like to expand the possibilities. For example as a start.
The 2008 Tahoe Hybrid, available in two- or four-wheel drive, provides the power and capability you expect from a utility vehicle while offering fuel efficiency you never imagined — an outstanding EPA estimated MPG of 21 city, 22 highway for 2WD models, and 20 city, 20 highway for 4x4. In fact, 2008 Tahoe Hybrid 2WD offers the same EPA estimated city fuel efficiency as a four-cylinder Toyota Camry
A hybrid tahoe. I prefer ways that maintain or increase comfort levels. I don't think a hybrid tahoe is a solution, it still uses oil, but its the kinda direction I'd like to see.

I'll get right on that.
