I don't think Alex thinks of such things much, just like most people.
The average occupancy is closer to 2 persons than to 1 (1.7 occupants is the US average).
Is it more efficient to purchase both a 1-person vehicle and a 5 passenger vehicle for those times when multiple occupants are present, or simply purchase the 5 passenger? Which strategy would be cheaper considering registration, taxes, insurance...
Most people don't dream of owning things that have less utility.
