Are they serious?

Ok, I just saw a Chevy Tahoe commercial. The commercial begins with a panoramic shot of a large field of sunflowers. They are gently blowing in the breeze on a seemingly refreshing crisp morning. Then comes the shot of the Tahoe driving down a curvy road with sunflowers blowing behind it. You get this nice relaxed, clean feeling of no cares or worries. The nice voice calmly tells how wonderful the Tahoe is and what great gas mileage it gets. What is that number you ask? 22 MPG.
Now I'm not Green Peace guy or hard core ecology freak, but are you kidding me? I mean I have two trucks that get 22 MPG or less. But I'm paying for the gas because I chose to drive these trucks. The question that I have is, since when is 22 MPG something to brag about? I guess I wouldn't use the 22MPG as a selling point.

Crazy Chevy!

Well, since I don't really know much about cars anyway, I don't know what I should comment about. So, um, yeah. C-c-cool..... car.......?

That's cool. I guess. I would like to go to Tahoe.

Apparently, 22MPG is a selling point to people like you. After all, if you choose to drive guzzlers, maybe you want to upgrade to a nig rtuck with middle-of-the-road mileage.

Hmm, not sure what I meant when I type the last sentence above. Oh, I remember. It was supposed to say bigger truck. Sorry for the confusion.
