That's why I drive a small car and why small cars are popular in the

I made a driver's licence in a Yugo :-)
Small cars are now (and also that time to be fair) far far better than Yugo. For example: Volkswagen Polo with a diesel engine can on the open road make 79 miles with one gallon of diesel. It can comfortably run at speeds which are within the speed limits and is probably as safe as Hummer and similar monsters.
Big cars like that are generally made for big egos. Those who need a big car will for sure not buy Hummer.
