as far as SUV's being used for other purposes besides transport, that's a valid point. however, i rarely see an SUV with more than 1 person in it, and its usually a mom driving somewhere.
I get 26-27mpg on the highway often. The city stuff is what kills you. Below is an average of what I got after about 35min on the highway.
