Non-partisan observation/question: I wonder how visitors or immigrants from other countries square these 2 facts?
1) A healthy minority of personal vehicles on the road are massive SUVs. If you add in mid-sized SUVs - that are still larger than most people probably really "need" - you're probably over 50%.
2) Americans STILL love to whine mightily about the price of gas.
MIGHT suggest to those people that we're a nation full of dumb whiners.
