Did My Car Join Al Qaeda?
By Woody Hochswender
I drive a large, four-wheeldrive vehicle.
Does that mean I'm a bad person? You might think so, from all the sturm und
drang we've heard lately from the Virtuous Ones who insist that America's fuel
consumption indeed, our very style of life is somehow responsible for the
enmity toward us in the Middle East, not to mention the rest of the world. A
series of TV commercials put together by the columnist Arianna Huffington and
Lawrence Bender, the Hollywood producer behind ''Pulp Fiction,'' have even
linked S.U.V.'s with Mideast terrorism. The idea is that the petrodollars
transmigrate from the Gas 'n' Go to the oil sheiks to the hands of maniacs
wielding AK47's.
Leaving aside for the moment that this is
trendy, illogical thinking and leaving aside also the odd sensation of being
lectured on socially responsible behavior by the producer of ''Pulp Fiction''
isn't this really a backdoor way of blaming America for Sept. 11 and other
crimes like it? Those who implicate Americans particularly our adventurous
habits, offbeat choices and breathtaking freedoms, including the freedom to
drive to a poetry reading followed by dinner at a French restaurant in the
midst of a raging snowstorm validate the terrorists as essentially right
Where I live, about 100 miles north of New
York City, at least half of all the vehicles you see on the road are S.U.V.'s
or other light trucks. They make a great deal of sense. This is not just
because we have plenty of long, steep driveways and miles and miles of dirt
roads. We also have had more than 70 inches of snow this winter. When the sun
goes down and the melted snow refreezes, the roads are covered with insidious
stretches of black ice.
Four-wheeldrive vehicles allow workers to
get to and from their jobs, and parents to transport their children safely to
school, sporting events, ballet classes and the rest. Yes, there is something vaguely
obscene about driving solo to the supermarket in Beverly Hills to pick up a
carton of milk in your two-ton Navigator. But not so much in Portland or Green
Bay or Chicago. The wellpublicized notion that S.U.V.'s are actually unsafe,
based on their propensity to roll over, does not take into account personal
responsibility. Rollover accidents tend to be something the driver has a
substantial degree of control over. I choose not to whip around corners or to
follow others so closely and at such high speeds that I have to make harrowing
emergency stops. I drive so as not to roll over
However, if some drunken driver veers
across the center divider a situation I have no control over I would
prefer that my 9yearold and I not be inside a Corolla. From the standpoint of
a reasoned individualism, S.U.V.'s are safer in many situations than cars. I
think a lot of intelligent people realize that. Of course, S.U.V.'s use a lot
of gas. This goes for my wife's all-wheel-drive Volvo as well as for my
voracious mistress, my 1989 GMC. But a car's miles-per-gallon rating is only
one measure of fuel efficiency. Miles driven is another. People who drive light
trucks quickly learn not to drive around aimlessly. We tend to combine trips
and to keep engines finely tuned and tires properly inflated. It all comes down
to home economics.
What are we supposed to do now, turn our
S.U.V.'s in? En masse? Only the independently wealthy can treat their cars
purely as fashion items. The S.U.V.-bashers' argument also falls apart on macroeconomic
grounds. Were we to somehow cut our national fuel consumption by 20 percent,
would that deprive the terrorism sponsors of cash? Unfortunately, the world oil
market is, well, a market. Even if America were energy independent, there is no
guarantee that Exxon, Texaco and Getty or, for that matter, France, the
Netherlands and Japan would cease buying oil from Middle Eastern states.
My guess is that this campaign has less to
do with politics and economics than with an American tendency to mind everybody
else's business. So, busybodies, let me ask you a question: How big is your
house? Ms. Huffington's is reported to be 9,000 square feet. We all know what
it costs to heat and air-condition a joint like that. A couple of years ago I
replaced the aging oil furnace in my 3,000 square-foot house with a new fuel-injected
system. It saves me about 800 gallons of oil a year. Hey, that's almost
precisely the yearly fuel consumption of my GMC. I think of that as progress,
for me, as a world citizen. Maybe I'm not such a bad person after all.
