And this level of response is why we're still here.

I think it's reasonable to say that, strictly in terms of green house gas emissions, it's hard to determine whether delivery or pick up is the better option.

Food delivery via a car to make any economic sense would require at least a few people.

Also, it is not usage of car here at issue, you need a slave to the delivery too to which adds most of the cost anyway.
