7 drivers, each with their own HYBRID @ 32 MPG. 12,000 miles a year each= 2,625 gallons of gas.
CASE#2:
4 weeks out of the year (and several weekends), my family and I are living out of our Airstream. Looked at from a LEED’s standard (U.S. green building council), I’m well into a platinum certified lifestyle with the energy efficiency, and tremendously reduced emissions/waste-- Car emissions are a speck, compared to the pollution nearly every person’s home generates…

I drive a pick-up so I'm not picking on you, but
Case #1 how often do you have 7 pass in the suburban?
8 pass = 2 hybrids , 12000 div by 32 = 375 X 2=750 gals.
Case #2 makes me feel good.
