So no, 35k miles EACH is NOT ‘a lot more miles’, it’s EQUAL miles.
You must really drive aggressively if you getting less than 1/3 the MPG.
If you CHOOSE to drive such an inefficient vehicle to commute...that's your CHOICE. I'm not going to feel too bad for you.
Aggressively? Now there's a wildly erroneous assumption.
First, it's not a commuter, I never said it was.
Secondly, there's a little thing called physics.
My ride has a 6.3 liter V8, her Honda has a 1.5 liter 4 cylinder.
But if you care about silly things like facts, my SUV actually gets far superior mileage to her Honda if you look at fuel consumption based on engine displacement.
My engine is 4.2 times the size of her's yet only uses 3.2 times the amount of fuel, so it's nearly 1/3 MORE fuel efficient in that aspect.
