While it’s true that there are way, way more wasteful SUVs out there than there should be, this seems like it’s all about the Extinguishers’ smug self-satisfaction. This won’t significantly reduce the amount of gas used, and this won’t change a single person’s mind and get them to ditch their SUV. If anything, it just makes environmentalists look bad and causes a knee-jerk backlash against more reasonable policies. The only purpose it serves is to make the individuals doing it feel more powerful and superior.
