Yes, but I was talking specifically about framing your perception in a specific way.

Driving to work actually costs you something more like ~$30 in fuel and parking and ~$25 in owning the car ($55). Biking to work costs you $0 in fuel and parking and ~$25 in owning the car that it sitting in your garage ($25).

Fuel is a small percentage of the cost in owning a car, and even the most insane parking costs get anywhere near car ownership costs.

Oh I see, yes if possible not having the car at all would be the best outcome. Even more so when you consider many people choose where they live based on it's affordances for cars, with a bit of approximation you could probably work out the figure for having a carpark/garage at where you live.
