11. Because they help drive up the price of gas further.

It's supply and demand. The more gas-guzzling SUVs there are, the faster the US consumes gas in general. That leads to decreased gas supply relative to demand. There are cars that get 30 or more miles per gallon. There are SUVs that can barely pass 15 miles per gallon. That's like them dumping half the gas they buy never to be used by anyone else again.
