The funny thing is that it was the Hippies that started the SUV thing.
We used to buy vans, suburbans, travelalls, pickups, etc., because they were less expensive in the used market, and we could carry lots more people all at once. The VW hippie van was probably the first SUV.
But we drove more carefully, and VW vans still got over 30 mpg.
