I guess (some) people don't recognize how much gas SUVs guzzle (your point 3). To be fair, gas mileage is a fairly opaque topic, but if anything is clear it is that going faster and having more drag is very bad for your mileage. So going 200 km/h in your SUV (common sight on German Autobahns) is the worst thing you can do.
