That's not necessarily accurate either, because you also have to consider how long they drive overall.

That number would be un-obtanium, how many hours someone drove. You have to make people log into the car computer and have it record hours driven. As for your parents, one data point does not make a curve. For example I drove 80 miles a day back and forth to work, my wife now that she is working drives 5 miles round trip. A much more likely scenario IMO. For most of my working life she was a at-home-mom.
But I will admit that stat could be changing if it was ever correct.
That's the problem, you can't actually obtain accurate statistics on driving habits. Which was really my point - the days of a one car one working parent household are long gone, so what rings true in general for one generation's habits in the past don't ring true for all generations now.
There are far more fewer stay at home moms out there and more stay at home dads also. Too many "givens" have changed to make any generalization on gender driving habits and such. I know many women who drive 80+ mile commutes for work and men who make less than 10 mile commutes. Having a career versus a job is the main factor in commute distance and that is gender neutral nowadays.
