    @hongminhee One the one hand, yes. On the other hand, in many countries car owners are the biggest obstacle to reducing car usage because they tend to view minor inconvenience (e.g. one lane less, or a bit less parking) as equivalent to death threats.

    Yes, and folks make personal choices to buy vehicles which are much larger than they actually need. Which gets worse gas mileage.

    The vast majority of pickups are oversized and are never used to transport anything, other than the driver. It's just a culturally calling card.
