That's great that you are so understanding, now keep in mind what someone said earlier about not being able to afford a fleet of vehicles where each is best suited for a special purpose. That giant SUV that is truly needed on the weekend will not be transformed into a small economy car for the commute to work on Monday morning. So before you all (generically) cluck and shake your head at the single driver going to work in a big honkin' SUV tomorrow, remember that.
If it has a trailor hitch I will give them the benefit of the doubt
How then to you fit all of your dive and camping gear into a smart car?
Get a Mini Clubman or a Honda Fit, plenty of space and they get 37mpg and 34mpg respectively. I took my two scooters, double tanks and a huge box of dive gear to the Honda dealership and I tested it in the Fit and it fit

see the problem is that smart cars and such are still gas guzzlers. what I would like to get to save gas is a motorcycle, and get 60 mpg.
