That's one of the reasons we have SUVs. Some people wanted large cars, 
but the government (CAFE) said "all cars must be at least X efficient." 
So the car companies built SUVs, which are heavy enough to be classified 
as trucks.

It always amuses me to see people in monster pickup trucks and SUVs 
coming to an almost complete stop for the speedbumps that I go over at 
20MPH in my Camery.
