He means he ends the trip at whole foods, does his shopping, then loads what he bought into a different Car2Go. He's not simultaneously using two cars.
You don't have to use, or like, or approve of others use of Car2Go. For some people it's just awesome, for others, not so much. I don't care you can rent a car for a whole day cheaper; because I don't want a car for a whole day. I like that I can tap my card, get in, drive 20 blocks, and have the $3.76 charged to my visa. No rental office, no fuss, no muss. Even cheaper than the bus!
The annual Car2Go fee is $2. I'm not sure what you're referring to with "market rate" for fuel, as others have pointed out fuel and insurance are both included in the cost. No social engineering required.
Maybe I'm inferring a lot of negativity where none is intended, but you sure seem down on Car2Go for reasons I can't understand / are nonsensical / don't actually exist.

As to the pricing not being comparable to legacy car rentals I disagree. A car rental is a car rental. If Enterprise can rent an economy sedan for $27/dy ($9.99/dy!! on weekends). Without an inititiation fee and yearly subscription then the hourly rental model is the one that needs review. As for the insurance and gas rolled in. Nice bit of social engineering there. Pitch it as a positive and watch people defend what amounts to upsell on the part of C2G. I'll bet good money I can find gas cheaper than their "market rate". Third party insurance as well. Or no insurance if I choose to risk it.
