Correct. We are wasting most of our fuel, getting noting in return but "feeling powerful" or whatever it is people get off on. Our vehicles are a conveyance intended to transport us to a destination. We can't afford to treat them as playthings, because there is no metaphorical mommy and daddy to keep buying batteries for us. We're dealing with a finite amount of resources, but we aren't treating it as such.

Jeeze, take deep breath and chill out tw. Only you would take something like taco scented exhaust and turn it into a scowl-fest about SUV drivers. I never attempted to address 'the problem', just offered my personal hope for a silver lining and a humorous tidbit about a possible green technology.
Man oh man, you are as sour as they come.
