This data is old, but shows that despite similar numbers of vehicles people in other countries drive many fewer miles. https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar4.htm

America is twice as big as Europe by area, so driving more miles on average doesn't seem surprising.

The size of the country is irrelevant. The vast majority of personal car trips are within a metropolitan area.

Then you shouldn't be drawing conclusions from average miles driven. That doesn't further your point, I don't know if we have data for median miles driven per capita.
