Is a minivan an option? Usually they get more MPG.

Fair enough, but it's only a teenage girl and her two baby sisters. And I'm
Uncle, (no actual kids of my own). I, along with their other uncle, take care of them as well as our mother, who is 65 and does not drive anymore. That is the family that I speak of.
A minivan is not an option as I am not a soccer mom, (no offense to anyone who is), and they don't have the power necessary for my towing needs.
I do my part, I schedule appointments together in order to carpool, I run errands on same days, etc. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against alternatives. I think that is a misconception that most have of conservatives. Like lindysd, I think that supplies of oil should be increased to aid in the reduction of fuel costs, and I feel that we should allow drilling in U.S. owned lands to reduce dependence on foreign oils. All until an affordable alternative is developed.
Seriously, all those against fossil fuels don't have a single idea as to what they would do or use to replace it, that could still satisfy our energy needs. Why? And I'm not a brain so I personally haven't the slightest idea except nuclear. But one accident, and OMG!
Sorry guys, not trying to turn this into a political topic.
