I'm not wasting gasoline.

I use what I need...

And since others could buy even larger vehicles in order to counter the threat your large vehicle represents, all you are proposing is a car size war, where your truck will lose eventually. Like the Freightliner Unimog SUV.
I'm comfortable with my vehicle of choice. If someone else is uncomfortable with my choice, that's just tough shit. They can either deal with it, or get a bigger vehicle; makes no difference to me.

But I'm not "proposing" anything...

And no, that "future oil" is not yours, because you probably used up more than your share already.
You've already admitted that I'm not putting a lot of miles on my truck, which translates to me not using a great deal of oil. I fill up, on average, twice a month. I see my neighbor at the gas station at least twice a week, and he drives a Chevy Malibu.

Who's using more gas?

You say "You probably used up more than your share already".

What a stupid fucking thing to say; there's not an ounce of intelligence contained in it.

Since you seem to believe I've "probably" used more than my share, surely you're smart enough to explain just how much my "share" is.

Or maybe you're not...
