Kayak.

get a van

Get a life, it's a 6cyl and makes 28mpg. Go fuss at an Acura TL for all the emissions I create.

I just throw my kayak or canoe on the roof of my car. My fuel economy drops a bit with it on the roof, but overall its a way better option for me than constantly guzzling gas plus the upfront costs.

We aren't just fussing over emissions, its also the bigger tires, the bumper height/pedestrian safety, the blind spots many trucks have, the increased space they take up in parking lots.
