On Update II

You should really read Thomas’ entire column because he also speaks to blogging in general, questioning its legitimacy within the context of journalism and intellectualism.

Jab, were in total agreement. I wish we would switch to alternative fuels and cars that get 100 miles on gas; then we could tell the Middle East to stuff it.

However, you state,”gas consumption is the PRODUCT of usage (miles driven) AND efficiency (gallons per mile).” All I wanted to express is that with Arianna, she leaves out “usage”.

Sounds like “Arianna” on the toast site is a fan, La Shawn. I’m assuming they were being facetious.

Bucktowndusty,

The logic in your math post is lacking. Of course, gas consumption is the PRODUCT of
usage (miles driven) AND efficiency (gallons per mile). It doesn’t take a genius to deduce that if you own an SUV, but drive it very little, you don’t consume a lot of gas. Duh.
Summary of your post: “My sister owns ans SUV, but doesn’t drive it very much… therefore SUVs do not contribute to overconsumption of gas.”

I think Arianna is doing a great job raising awareness on how our fuel overconsumption not only leads to environmental and economic problems, but also political and national security as well. Of course, no one begrudges the use of SUVs by people who genuinely need them, whether for work, or for rural or mountainous environments… but do the ridiculously congested highways of LA, SF, NY, etc. really need to be clogged with bumper-to-bumper SUVs carrying soccer moms and dads with their groceries?

Any ONE individual doesn’t make much of an impact, but a city-full of people in aggregate do.
Have you seen the smog in LA?
