AGH! I4 in a minivan, I fear that I would end up having to push the van up a hill. 4-Cyls in a minivan just doesn't cut it anymore especially in a 7 people family. 6 sounds just right, but an 8 is not neccassary.
Now 12 is overkill for insane driven maniacs who have a death wish.
Most people buy gas guzzling trucks so that they can tow heavy duty equipment for it. If you have one of these trucks and your using it for daily driving consider being a very thick headed person or a REDNECK!

E85 makes sense.
When gas hits about $7 a gallon.
And yes, SUV's are a real culprit in taking up far more fuel than necessary; a V6 minivan (heck, an I4 minivan when they start making them again :lol: ) can suit 94% of the needs of soccer moms. But, they just aren't cool.
Don't underestimate, however, the impact of V8 domestic sports cars driven hard eating gas fast as well.
Of note, the V12 mentioned above is small displacement for a V12; considered a very sweet and smooth engine.
