Uhm, mini-vans don't get stellar gas mileage either, and depending on what you want to do with them, they might not be as functional.

And those old station wagons for those of you going down memory lane. They had big old V-8's in them at got like 12 mpg. Some of the new station wagons are probably more practical. SUV's aren't as evil as people try to convince you.

When there is alternative fuel source I'll use that. Until then, an SUV fits my lifestyle and my needs. But if you want to get a 4 cylinder station wagon, you can lead the charge.
