So I'm supposed to be in awe of this somehow? There are a bunch of people here who bike to work and their commute is over 20 miles. I'm supposed to feel all shiny and happy because some couch-potato exec drives an SUV because he has over 20 miles to go to work? Move closer to work! Get a more efficent vehicle! Carpool! These single occupant vehicles (more specifically single occupant SUV's) burn more fuel for no better reason than to haul some lazy status-seeking schlub to his office. At least with the trucks they're generally hauling a USEFUL product. ....over 20 miles cry me a river.
