at least one is an SUV

From this morning's Strib:

Minnesota legislators set the course for a historic showdown with Gov. Tim Pawlenty, approving a transportation bill that features a gas-tax increase and other revenue hikes that would cost a typical three-car family in the Twin Cities between $250 and $500 a year.

What is typical about a three-car family? Hard to understand why Minnesota faces transportation problems.

  • We are a three vehicle family, but two are scooters.

    I don't think having an average of three cars per family is outrageous. This includes farmers who have many vehicles, families where one car is a work vehicle, families of 4-10 people, and probably liscensed recreational vehicles, such as scooters and motorcycles.

    It isn't the number of cars you have, but how many miles you drive (especially alone.)
