My hybrid SUV halves its mileage over 40-45 mph which is enough incentive for me not to be a maniac. I treat the average mpg as a game, trying to maximize it for my driving pattern.

Sucks when I have long stretches on the highway though.



Why buy a SUV then?


Because at my price point for my needs there was not an alternative. There are other columns in the decision matrix besides MPG.


Even on the highway you can take comfort in the fact that someone passing you at 90 while you go 65 or 70 is getting way worse mileage than you.

Or you can shake your head at the world.
