But the majority of pickups and SUVs never leave the city, never venture on unpaved roads and never carry any load along the lines you describe.

I don't judge others' use of their larger vehicles when I don't see them hauling a load. Sometimes my truck is on the road without a load, but since I use public transportation for my commute the truck's annual use is much less than the average car is used. The truck's annual fuel use is about the same as SWMBO's 50 MPG car. Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
