Don't get me wrong.  I love my Vanagon, but it is in no way the "green"
choice.  An Expedition actually gets very close to the MPG of a Vanagon,
and the Excursion isn't far behind.  In addition, both qualify as LEV (low
emission vehicles).  That means they emit at least 45% less hydrocarbons
than the government requires.

I don't own either vehicle, but I recognize their strengths, just as I
recognize my Westy's weaknesses.  Lots of vehicles, including almost all
new vehicles, even the behemoths, pollute less than our beloved Vanagons.
