We also have to break the American thinking that bigger is safer. I'll admit, my decision to purchase my current vehicle was based on the need for a vehicle that can run on E-85 or another alternative fuel. But when looking at the CNG or LPG vehicles, I did consider what happens when I run across soccer mom in her Expedition or Tom Teenager in his jacked F-250 when they are text messaging and not paying attention. My Pickup is large and will fair much better in an accident than the Civics. I'm guilty of that "safety is size" thinking, and if I made that part of my consideration, so will many others. The cycle continues....
