Good ridence to SUV's.
My beef with them is more to do with the fact that they are such monsters on the road as opposed to the gas mileage they get.
In the area of the City that I live (Bloor West Village) parking is a premium, and the streets are narrow. The houses are built on 20 foot wide lots with mutual driveways (2 houses share 1 driveway), so there is a driveway ramp at every second house which you can not park in front of. This means that there is a strip of approximately 35 feet of curb where you can park. This is just enough room for 2 cars to park, or 1 SUV.
SUV's in essence hog the road, hog the parking spots, and use more gas. They also tend to be driven by chubby soccer moms talking on cell phones whilst hauling 2 little pigglets with chocolat smeared all over their faces which can make for dangerous driving.
