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.
