An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Pretty easy to make a comparison to the average American. It’s like BMI – it’s bigger than the individual and not a metric useful for individual comparison.

Drivers reported making an average of 2.44 driving trips, spending 60.2 minutes behind the wheel, and driving 30.1 miles each day in 2022. Projecting these results to all drivers nationwide, 255 million drivers made a total of 227 billion driving trips, spent 93 billion hours driving, and drove 2.8 trillion miles in 2022, all of which represented small but not statistically significant decreases relative to 2021.
I average 0 miles a day driving.
Please tell me how you know that the people you are talking to on Lemmy are all average Americans. Or even Americans.
Irrelevant.
It’s totally relevant. You said “I’ll still do less environmental damage than you” and your reasoning for that is based on what the average American does.
So unless you believe that you’re only talking to average Americans, you are using a meaning of the word “you” that literally no one else in the world uses.
I do?
Again, your words:
So you sure claim you do. And the evidence you gave was, again, you were talking about the average American. So, again, how do you know that everyone here- that anyone here- is what you describe as an average American?
