Plus it's not like 20 eddies a litre would be cost prohibitive anyway? You drop 10-15k on implants all the time.
As others have pointed out, it is intentionally meant to be a dystopian future, that is to say, a shit one. So the car prevalence could be intentional. (Also there is a public transit system in the lore, it's just not working in the game because they never finished it.)
