Ah yes, but cars are my hobby, I have several.

Of course you can't "save" them unless you give up the car totally. This creates a step effect, below say 4000 miles a year the fixed costs aren't worth it. The depreciation, tax, insurance, service etc saving buys a lot of train tickets!
Less economic but still important is time, sitting on a train you can read or sleep, not recommended whilst driving.
very little complaining about the price of fuel?
