It keeps surprising me how people obsess over a 20% fuel price increase, but take a 20% fuel consumption increase for granted when they buy a big SUV.

My '22 Subaru Outback burns less per mile than my '03 Volkswagen Jetta did, for what it's worth.

		I'd say that a 2022 Subaru Outback is not a "big SUV" - the EPA classified it as a small SUV (medium starting 2026), and it had a crossover station wagon body style. Now I do wonder about those people who buy a Chevy Tahoe, Ford Expedition, or Toyota Sequoia and then complain about gas consumption...
