Rural people aren't paying rent. They can afford to fill up their vehicles. The only things that may change for some of them is switching to more fuel-efficient vehicles or foregoing car insurance (which is a good thing.)
What?
Do you think people living in rural areas have more extra money to spend than people living in cities....?
Some people do of course but I highly doubt that generalization holds.
You should stop assuming that when you declare things as true that you have experienced that others will magically take your word for it especially after they have provided actual evidence in their arguments.
Keep being confident in things you know nothing about.
