Yipee, it's soapbox time!
First, Carpooling might work providing that you and your neighbors who live a few miles down the road are on the same "I need to go to town and get something" schedule. Walking 30 miles into town is pretty insane considering what ever you get you will have to carry back another 30 miles to home. The bicycle has its shortcomings in reguards of what you can carry and haul. Public transportation is fine if you want to drive to the closest bus stop (30miles) and ride that last mile to Walmart and FeedCo and carry everything by hand back to the bus.
Second, Cheaper cars and trucks would be great if you can pry out all of that computer cra--stuff that doesn't have much longevity.
Third, most people look at their auto need with a "we might need" train of thought. Parents of two or more kids know the value of keep the kids out of each other's reach while in a vehicle. Others want to avoid having to make a second or third trip back into town to get an item that wouldn't fit in the first trip. It is time consuming to dive into town twice for the needed quantity cause only half would fit in the little car.
