First, the Friends of the Earth developed a Web site to survey individuals on sport utility vehicles. See the survey here.
Then, the survey was discovered by enthusiasts of sports utility vehicles and the following message was posted on another web site:
Check this out! This is www.suv.org. You'd think with a URL like this, they'd be in favor of SUV's, but they're not. They're out to get rid of them. Go there & fill out their survey & let them know we like our SUV's & would like to keep them & that gas mileage isn't "the be all to end all!" This site is brimming with mis-information & is maintained by "Friends of the Earth", another environmentalist group! (Source)
Now look at the survey results here.
