Depends. Do I need to make two trips now instead of one, since I may not be able to fit everything into the smaller car? How much is your safety worth to you? A bigger car is typically more survivable in a crash.
true, but there are several smaller cars that do better in a crash-test than most big cars. But I think you are right if people need to transport bigger things, it will be much more difficult with a smaller car. I think the solution for this problem would be to replace the bigger cars by medium size or small cars.
You can swap power for mileage, but Americans trained the market into more and more high powered cars. My last car was a 1994 Saturn, which got 40 miles to the gallon on the highway. Now I'm being told that some hybrids don't get much more than that? Sounds fishy to me. The newer Saturns don't get nearly that much.
Exactly what I said. They swapped power for mileage. That was the last of the really stripped down cars; no electric windows or key locks, 4 cylinder engine.

grtz, Jeroen
I'm pro-choce in this matter, but I don't advocate aborting big cars/
Now that my kids have their own cars, size isn't such a big deal. I'd consider a smaller car if it was more cost effective and as safe.

I think you had the only one made that got that kind of milage.? ;))
Lol, I lived in California then, and did alot of driving up and down Hwy 5. 10 gallon tank. 400 miles between fillups.
Well, that is just about as close to 40 mpg as you can get!! How come they cant do that now??
