Neighbor got a jeep. I was shocked to learn it gets 15-17 miles per gallon. I get that it is an SUV, but there are SUVs with more utility that get better gas mileage.

They have some models that have ok-ish gas mileage for an SUV. Then there's the Wrangler. It starts with abysmal gas mileage, and then you upgrade it, and every upgrade adds weight or reduces on road efficiency. It's really an offroad motorsports vehicle that somehow happens to be road legal.
