This is exactly what Brian is talking about. Since you couldn't afford the high cost of petrol, you have taken an alternate step that will make some of your travel cheaper. You are doing more than most people. I think Brian's point is that if the vast majority could not afford gas, then alternative energy vehicles would be mass-produced and be cheaper. Plus a government subsidy would help those who couldn't afford the initial purchase.
