I have to give the author some credit for this statement:

Of course, there are a few caveats and considerations. Buying an SUV doesn't make a lot of sense if you don't really need one. Ask yourself if you're going to use that room. Do you have hauling to do, whether of supplies or lots of kids? Second, know that you're making some environmental sacrifices. Sure, you get a bigger, nicer car. But you'll still be burning more gas, and polluting more.

Also, the author used current gas prices to calculate the gas cost of a Durango and compare to an Accord--probably the fair way to do it.
I want to know how the U.S. Energy Information Agency came up with an oil price forecast of <$34 per barrel. I'm going to check some of this stuff out.
