Dean Zimmermann tells me the amount of energy that goes into making the avarage car is the same as driving 100,000 miles.
So, the bigger the car, the more energy used to make it. LOTS for an SUV! And, better to keep the old car going. And 2000 miles of the small car is better than 2000 miles of the SUV. --David Shove On Tue, 28 Jan 2003, Victoria Heller wrote: > It's not the vehicle that you object to - it's the TOTAL consumption of > gasoline. > > A person with an SUV who drives 2,000 miles per year is more "earth > friendly" than a person in a Jetta who drives 15,000 miles per year. > > The more children a family has, the more drivers.
