Would you rather I drive an SUV, or a car *and* a pickup truck? I'd need
both, because I need the capabilities of both at different times. Further,
95 percent of my driving is at highway speed, so a hybrid would do
absolutely no good in my use. (That's why I bought a Lexus RX350 instead of
a Lexus RX400h.)

The simple fact is that people in poor countries don't get to decide what I
drive. Neither do sanctimonious Canadian enviro-wackos.
