True, but look around you on the highway. What percentage of cars would
you estimate have just one or two passengers on a typical work day? A few
years back, the University of Rochester posted students from a stats
class at the entrance to the NY State Thruway and found that about 85% of
vehicles had one passenger. This was a weekday morning from rush hour
through lunch time. That's one as in "1".

Obviously, nobody's going to tow with a hybrid, but that's not relevant.

It is relevant Dougie!

Most of us don't want to have three or four "trip" purpose built vehicles
around let alone the dealing with the all of the costs of all of those
vehicles.
