Agreed, I worded that badly - what I meant is that non-car owners could still save more by not driving than the delta on the goods, potentially, as they are paying only the fractional cost that they are actually consuming, if everything else was "correctly" redistributed. This is all complicated though by the way we actually pay for all of this, so it's not as simple as car owners subsidizing. It's not like the gas tax covers this.
