Today's Dose of Ya Think? mean SUVs don't get good gas mileage? I have been saying this for 10 years now. Saying how short our memories are. No one seems to remember that in the early 70's every car was the size of a large sailboat. After oil prices doubled in '72-'73, it took a couple of years but we started producing and consuming smaller vehicles and (GASP!), conserving gas. I Many of my customers have been bored with the story of my parents' 1980 1/2 (it cam out mid year) Nissan Sentra. The first Nissan Sentra offered, it got close to 50 mpg in 1980!!!! in 28 years, we have advanced as a country how much? NEGATIVE 25 mpg (assuming an avg of 20 mpg on most vehicles, which is probably hight). Way to go America. We're all idiots!
