The $100 Fill-Up
reality
Moving from cognitive bias to just plain old schadenfreude, the NYT documents the whining of the heavy metal owners coping with $100+ tankfuls.
I have no sympathy, in fact the reverse. To a considerable extent, the hgh price of gasoline today is due to the wasteful behavior of these people. Their self-esteem issues and status striving have cost me thousands of dollars over the years. Bring on the European $10 gallons and get these ludicrous and ungainly behemoths off the road once and for all.

We have this SUV problem simply because “they” will not allow me to have one of those nice 3000 round per minute Vulcan cannons mounted on my intermediate-sized car.
I would be happy to drive through the dust, just sayin’ ;-)

Oil slick dispenser for the win given their high center of gravity :).
