I'm supposed to believe that minivan's are better for the enviornment because of their great gas millage compared to and SUV:
Minivans:
Ford Freestar 17/23
Nissan Quest 18/26
Chevy Uplander 17/25
Toyota Siena AWD 17/23 Frnt 19/26
SUV:
Chevy Equinox 18/24
Chevy Tahoe 15/22
Chevy Trailblazer 15/22
Ford Freestyle 20/27
Ford Escape 20/26
Ford Exploreer 15/21
Ford Expedition 14/19
Nissan XTerra 16/22
Nissan Murano 19/24
Nissan Pathfinder 15/21
Toyota Highlander 2WD: 19/25 4WD: 18/24
Toyota 4 Runner 16/21
...
The numbers are not that far as minivan's don't really get good gas milage either.
As someone mentioned, "then don't have more kids then you can afford". I have only one kid, with another due in the next few weeks. It isn't an issue for me. But, hey, while you try to insult me lets just ignore the fact that with having to have all kids in car seats until they are 7 means that if I wanted to take one of my sons friends somewhere with us after the other baby is born, I would need to waste more gas because instead of being able to take them in one vehicle (I don't have an SUV or a Minivan), I now have to take 2. There are tons of situations where that can come up, no car pooling for families with cars to little league...
But hey, as someone said, I'm just stoopid.
