My 1984 VW Rabbit gets great mileage. Can’t say the same for the H3.

May 6, 2008 at 10:54 AM #199602jennyoParticipantWe have a 3/4 ton 4WD Suburban that we use for towing a boat, camping, and hauling our dogs and other things when needed. It mostly sits in the driveway. We put about 3,000 miles a year on it. It has vinyl bench seats, hand-roll-up windows, and smells a bit like dog. Totally classy.
Filling it up is definitely expensive (40-gallon tank), but we don’t have to do it very often. My husband rides his bike to work and I drive a 4-cylinder Accord.
There have always been practical uses for these beasts, even during the gas-crunches of the 70s, but when they became a blingy status symbol things just got ridiculous.

May 6, 2008 at 11:03 AM #199612barnaby33ParticipantPart of the reason they became a blingy status symbol is that Detroit figured out how to make them accelerate and handle much more like cars. If they drove like big heavy boats, only people who had some sort of need to would drive them.
Rather than rehash the points that others have made I’ll just say that 4-5 dollar a gallon gas will fix the problem, ah the magic of the market.
Its already costing me 60 plus to fill the tank on my 4Runner, I can only imagine what an F-250 or Suburban costs to fill.
