“Engine and technology advancements” can also be applied to smaller cars so that doesn’t really move the needle anywhere.

I think it’s quite obvious that unless you discover how to break the laws of physics, the smaller car will be always more efficient due to better aerodynamics and lower weight.

the smaller car will be always more efficient due to better aerodynamics and lower weight.

Be interesting to know how much different the two were, if the difference was minimal, or very large.

If it’s minimal, and you need the carrying capacity, then it wouldn’t be such a bad thing to own a SUV.

If it’s not minimal, yeah then it’s better just renting an SUV size vehicle when you need to carry something of large capacity. Unless you need that capacity each and every day, then it would be cost prohibitive to rent versus own.
