The number I have heard is that Germans drive on average 50000 km per year.

50000 is definitely much too high. The number I have in my head is 15000. Maybe you confused the two.

Yes, 15000 looks about right. That being said, it feels quite low.

Sounds about right. Canadians average around ~25 per year, considering far fewer mass transit links, less density, and greater area of travel.
