Perhaps you were only speaking of your own fuel usage, but saying you do not use any is still inaccurate. The fuel may not come out of your tank but it certainly used by the planes, trains, big rigs and delivery trucks that bring things to your door, and you still pay for it as shipping costs.

Most items I buy get free shipping,others are quite reasonable.
What I save in sales tax usually doubles my expenditure for shipping.
A diesel train taking cargo across country would seem to use less fuel than all the commuters moving those same items.
