Which - provided that the trucks are used to transport/deliver (hopefully) needed goods, leaves us with three-fourths of fuel used on roads for (likely) less needed uses.
Seriously, from what I read as experiences here on HN, it is common to have daily commuting times of more than 1 hour (twice) to "deliver" (and bring back home) someone (by means of a huge, relatively heavy and gas guzzling 5 or more seater with only one person aboard) that very likely could have stayed home (working from there) seems like an easier target.
