Family of 5 at 50 mpg

Who needs an SUV?

According to US Census Data the average household size is 2.61 people and the average family size is 3.20 people. So, what percentage of American families really need SUVs?

I was reminded of this as I read a recent Toyota Prius Testimonial which stated, "Excellent car! We've averaged over 50mpg with a family of five. Longer trips have averaged 56.4 and 60.1."

50 mpg for a family of 5. And critics still don't get hybrid cars?
