This is the tragedy of most vehicles in the USA, at least as daily work commuters consisting only the driver.
Especially when those daily commuters are large SUV's under the excuse that they get "good" fuel mileage just because they get more than 15mpg.

There are plenty of vehicle configurations that get hundreds of miles per gallon per passenger. Why can't people see the waste?
