If there's one thing I've noticed about technology, it's that cell phones continue to get smaller, but SUVs bigger. Why do you suppose this is? Now, I can grasp the handiness of a compact mobile phone, but why do sport utility vehicles have to be so large? Are American families really that big? Not from what I've seen. In fact, statistics show that the typical American family is shrinking. Folks aren't having as many children as they used to. Heck, who can afford it? Now, this brings me to gas mileage. Clearly some modern vehicles get terrible gas mileage. Most of them fit in the SUV category. Especially since no one can afford those German and Italian sports cars. So how do average middle class individuals and families afford such atrocious gas bills? I'm not so sure many of them can at this point. If that were the case, car companies wouldn't be coming out with more economical models such as the Rav-4 and Honda Element. I think people are now on the look-out for the best gas mileage SUV.
By now you've seen some of the hybrids out there. These are the vehicles that run on gasoline and battery power. It sounds a bit funny, but you just might like it. As you vehicle burns gas, it charges the batter, and then the batter takes over for a while. Pretty nifty if you're looking to save on gas. In addition to this nuance, automotive companies are striving to produce the best gas mileage SUV. Naturally they all want to compete for the top spot and gain the customers devotion. Right now the Honda CR-V, Lexus RX 330, Mitsubishi Outlander, Ford Escape, and Toyota Highlander are all in the game. These SUVs are lacking nothing as far as a contemporary sport utility vehicle is concerned, but won't break your purse or wallet.

What drivel it all is!... A string of words called religion. Another string of words called philosophy. Half a dozen other strings called political ideals. And all the words either ambiguous or meaningless. And people getting so excited about them they’ll murder their neighbours for using a word they don’t happen to like. A word that probably doesn’t mean as much as a good belch. Just a noise without even the excuse of gas on the stomach.

You might as well avoid those beautiful H2s if you're in search of the best gas mileage SUV. You might have to take a step down to the H3 for better gas mileage. Generally the larger scale vehicle you go, the more it costs to fill that tank. Not to mention the massive V8s they stick in them. These engines are gas hogs! So when you're out doing a bit of window shopping, remember that bigger is not always better when it comes to SUVs.
