just how much "power" does one need to propel a single person in an SUV

It will depend on the front area and thus drag for motorway driving, and for stop-start town driving the mass of the vehicle as well.

Damon;

The better question might be:


Why do most of these idiots even have the SUV?

Most never even get on a rock road let alone off a road all together. Just silly.

We need and have a 4X4 pickup but, as anyone who has been here knows, in winter you will not get up here to the house without the 4X4 and the truck gets used regularly on the farm. The daily driver is a New Beetle because the truck is a glutton for fuel.

Townies with the big 4X4 8 passenger vehicles that never carry anything but a driver and maybe groceries deserve the anal raping they get at the gas pump, in my opinion. Just ignorance, I guess.

End rant
