And damage to roads scales with the fourth power of axle-weight. The golf and the hummer have the same number of axles, so the hummer does ~106 times as much damage as the golf.

And your standard UPS truck weighs twice as much again as the Hummer. So does 16x as much damage - and there are plenty more of those on the road than there ever will be hummers.
