Not all of us. I've been out proselytizing the benefits of ownership. Pardon the following imperial units.

With gas at $4/gal and me paying 15¢/kWh, at 4 mi/kwh in my Bolt, it is like getting 107 mpg (2.2 l/100km) dollar for dollar equivalent.

Oil change every 100k miles, coolant change every 150k miles.

If that was the case, none of us would ride motorcycles.

You just feed any savings from efficiency into the insurance and healthcare systems, like a true American.
