To some degree this is already happening. By next year many of the SUVs will be on Minivan Chasis rather than truck chasis. Esentially it a minivan with a little more comfort. More of an upright seating and some real room to put a couple of things in back.
Additionally it occurrs to me that the use of BioDiesel actually favors the GasGuzzler. For example, the plant that is used to make the oil consumes more carbon (from carbon dioxide) than it produces for fuel (in oil). There is quite possibly a net improvement in the CO2 levels when using B100 and that makes the guzzler a good thing. Okay, maybe I'm wrong but it seems plausible. td > > - This is a valid point, however the question of "why" remains. I believe > that the sooner the death of the SUV arrives, the better.
