yup, forget about those guys. but if your goal is also to help the global problem somewhat then you should aim for the least efficient vehicles or the ones with worst earo. if you save 1 pickup 10% fuel, it would save as much fuel as when you save 4 smaller cars 10% fuel each.
people or companies that use these for work may be alot more interested in saving fuel. plus you have the "look we are doing something" marketing effect that they could use.
