Optimizing for cost is not always the top priority.

For example, when you're camping or at another event with lots of people around. There's nothing quite as abominable as a fleet of autos chugging along in a loud cacophony.

If you have been to burning man you know there are things way more abominable.

That said, I agree cost is not the priority. Convenience is.
