I worked with a truck guy for a while. got him to track his mileage. then did the math for him, he parked the truck, got a 1000 dollar economy car and has not looked back. He is not the first nor the last person to see the light.
A little good hearted ribbing about the monetary aspects (environmental aspects just get tuned out and dismissed) coupled with some information goes a long way.
