How will your Diesel get to the station so you can smuggly discount the needs and uses of other things whilst you fiddle with your radio?

Ban SUV types... which are just trucks...and in fact are simply MiniVans of a sort... which are also Trucks... mainly needed to haul large amounts of people that nothing else will fit the need. So what haul them in then? Three cars instead? Four?

Just trying to play Devils advocate here. And yes I am being overly sarcastic because these sorts of things said are just silly. I know there are people driving needless things out there. But lets not jump to conclusions about everyone that has to use one. Its a bit over stretch to conclude anything about someone you don't know behind the wheel of something because of its size. You can't seriously think ALL of them chose to do so as a form of "Compensating" do you?
You can't get rid of the delivery truck or the people movers. You just need to get them out of the hands of soccer moms and into the hands of class licensed specialists. $8 gal will keeps those trips to the salon at a minimum.

Whats that commercial these days? 1gal of diesel moves one ton of train freight 400+ miles? I am all for centralizing back to trains for freight and passengers. Flying is cool but 120mph on the ground aint half bad either.
