The problem with those numbers is that I only know 4 people who are zipcar members. The problem with your logic? All 4 of them also own their own vehicles. They have memberships to Zipcar for the handful of times a year they need to rent a truck or a van to make runs to Home Depot, or the dc dump.

Ask yourself...are all the people you know who have memeberships to entities like Zipcar, not have their own vehicles?

Succintly put, I think those ratios that folks like to parade as benefits of car sharing are baseless as I've never seen any hard data behind them. These people wouldn't be going out and buying second cars for their 7 trips a year to home depot so there is no tradeoff in terms of "taking cars off the street".
