It doesn’t matter how much gas is, there was never an excuse to waste it in the first place. People are just bad at finances and stoked about big vehicles. I think it’s not any more or less complicated than that.
People buy big SUV’s and trucks “for safety” even though they’re famously extremely likely to roll over. Everyone who does this is a fucking stupid, there’s no polite way to say it.
Never understood this one. Bigger car = more likely to hit stuff.
