Blame the SUV Drivers

ambericaGas in my neighborhood just jumped from $2.08 to $2.23 overnight. Come ON! I'm really getting tired of this, and in true American form, I want someone to blame for things that I don't like. I have chosen to blame the people who drive SUV's on a daily basis with no real REASON to be doing so. Notice I am not blaming SUV owners, because I know there are legitimate reasons to own an SUV. Jon has a gigantic truck, but it only gets used once or twice a month. It is like a tool. For daily driving, he uses a car that gets great gas mileage, so that's good.
And as for people that can't afford to own 3 or 4 cars like Jon, I say why not SHARE an SUV! I mean, most of the driving Jon's Expedition sees is from friends who need to use it! I think if small groups of people shared SUVs instead of everyone having one and driving it every day, gas prices would either go down a bit, or at least be easier to deal with by driving more efficient vehicles.
Thank you.
