If you want to convert people talk about how many miles you displace from the car and how little gas you use.
I think one thing you need to keep in mind is that impressive numbers are great but your fuel usage is got to be down if you are walking to work. Someone that gets 40 mpg and drives 200 miles a week is burning alot more than someone who drives 50 and gets 20 mpg. Very few can post big numbers and low fuel usage(Metro/SVO).
