I think it depends where you live. If you live in a place where you need an SUV, and are not having to travel long distances that's one thing, but if you live in California (like moi) an SUV is wasteful. I also think that SUV's can be a lot more energy efficient.

Dakota, I know you do it out of necessity, but from my point of view, when you save energy you are doing good. It makes me proud. I have to admit we are at 68, but I am thinking of going down to 67, to see how we fare. I hate having the heat on. We don't have AC. We tried to get Solar panels and were basically told that we don't use enough electricity to justify it.
