Great point! Not only less wear on the roads, but less demand for expanding roadway capacity since there are less vehicles on the road.
As much as I despise rising fuel costs, it's an inevitable and necessary evil. I'm looking forward to EVs, and eventually, autonomous vehicles, but fossil fuels must be priced out of the market before these other things are developed and implemented.
