When I lived in the city (Chicago) I would use public transit sometimes, but not after I moved to the far western suburbs in 1986 where public transit is logistically prohibitive. Since 1980, every car I've owned has been a fuel efficient 4 cylinder compact. I currently drive a hybrid that gets 50 MPG.
I would absolutely LOVE if we had a comprehensive sustainable energy mass transit system in which owning a car became a rarity. So much land, resources, and money is tied up with insurance, maintenance, roads, road repair, parking, traffic cops, traffic courts, and the costs & tragedies of terrible injuries & deaths associated with this highly inefficient and dangerous form of transportation.
I suspect you asked your question in an attempt to paint me as a hypocrite for owning a car to get to work, shopping, visit family & friends, etc.
Have at it if you like, but the above paragraph is hardly the same as building monster fuel sucking engines for entertainment.
Just my opinion. We all have one.
