You were doing so well until your third paragraph.
Like it or not, most people simply are no in a position to just stop driving entirely. It would be better for half the people in world to cut their driving in half than for a handful of people to give it up entirely.
You shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Heck, I doubt you yourself truly do not get any utility from cars.

@AlexanderKingsbury@mastodon.social @gcvrsa@mastodon.social Agreed, but the idea of speed, power, "performance" in all fields is assuming that usage of gas is efficient. It is on an economic point of view. Some make money of it. Now, if you cut your grass with a scyte rather than with a lawn-mauer, you will have the satisfaction of the slow, patient work, the time spent spaking with your neighbors above the fence. Least power and slow solutions have proven efficient on the global. We should need tools to calculate it
