It wasn't my job to tell them about the cost of fuel, wear and tear on their car and the price of parking. I found the rationale weird. Like completely bizarre.
We live walking distance from supermarkets, bookshops and hardware stores so the little extra that I may pay is offset when I apply the logic that you have spelled out above. My wife is also of the same thinking..

Also keeps local shops going... And things are available there and then, don't have to wait several days..
