Compared to fuel used and gas emitted by commercial aircrafts and ships (and power stations) etc, the same by cars are insignificant. Much as the issue is important (only in urban area while our sky is heavily polluted by aircrafts all over the places), pollution and waste by cars which we use everyday create disproportionate hysteria while other even larger polluters draw much less attention probably because they are not particularly close to our everyday life. That's an unfortunate situation of current argument on environmental issue or global warming etc. Nothing is balanced and everybody talks like experts based on knowledge obtained largely from unproven internet articles etc. In any case, I believe Doug Brewer is inferring that we should taper this thread off ;-).
