People need to use their car as a tool. If you simply drive to work by yourself, buying a big 4x4 pick up is not the right tool. If you work in construction and need the bed to haul your tools and equipment, then a pick up is the right tool.

I drive once a week to Chicago from Indy and marvel at the guys in these pick ups that burn past me in a huge pick up. You just know that they spend $100 every time the get near a gas pump.

I drive 75, and still get close to 40 MPG. I cry when I go to the gas pump....but at least I have the comfort of knowing I am not the biggest fool.
