Anything that increases the visibility of cops in the community is a good thing in my opinion, and if they have to have one car burning a ton of gas to achieve that, then so be it.

Also a ton of the police departments here in Texas, and especially in Dallas, use Tahoes. I doubt those use much less gas than that beast will.
