The ones especially Left-Wingers and Tree Huggers complain about SUV's on how "bad mileage they get" yet those same people do not(for the most part) criticize on cars like a Lamborghini or Ferrari that gets worst gas Mileages.
Take a Ford Excursion 7.3 Diesel for example;
For those who don't live in America: 990 miles = 1450kms. 44 gallons = 166.5 liters.
900 miles on a 44 gallon tank = 20.5 mpg
20.5 mpg = 11.4 L/100kms
Though that likely assumes highway driving, in stop start traffic it won't be quite the same.
Remember this is a 3.5 ton truck with the aerodynamic properties of a brick wall, I'd say it's not too shabby. So 20 or more MPG for a SUV that size is not bad.
A Lamborghini such as a Aventador does worse, but I bet you won't hear the whingers fuss and complain about that about that.
And the ones complain about why "people need such a large vehicle", well blame that on the ones such as Celebrities and Wealthy who do not use them for their true purpose except for flash.
Also, there were a time when back somewhere from the mid 1990s and 1980s on backwards that TRUE SUV's(Such as a Suburban or Bronco) was built for towing, hauling, picking up more people and the above, they were not fitted with all the electric gizmos that "suvs" have today which helps a lady drive like it's a normal car and is mostly used by soccer moms. Back then most Females were scared to drive an suv.
On the other hand however what is always the need for a 2 seater or small car 4 door car anyway?
Yeah, most exotics are not being used as daily drivers by middle class people, so technically the amount of waste will be larger with the SUV.
That being said, many people do use their SUVs for work and for their carrying capacity, but not every day. So if you see me in my Suburban 2500 8.1 liter with just me in it, you might think I'm just wasting fuel doing nothing, while in fact I may be on my way to the storage facility to pick up my 30 ft travel trailer or to the furniture store to pick up my new couches.
Basically, when you see a vehicle one time, you don't knwo what it's doing the rest of the time. It could be doing real work when you're NOT looking at it, or even just be sitting around the rest of the time waiting to do real work. (my Suburban sits in the driveway most of the time when I'm not doing real work with it, as I have small cars to commute with)

Assuming you are correct, "Leftwingers and Treehuggers" probably don't complain about the fuel inefficiency of the Lamborghini Aventador because very few people can afford to buy them, in relation to the number of people who can and do buy Ford Excursions.
I guess they're just awful people. Probably stupid, and hypocrites to boot. Is that the answer you're looking for? Because I can't see anything in your post that really makes much sense, so I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're getting at.
If you don't like this thread then why you are on here?
No offense but still.
