> I'd expect the distribution of individual amounts driven to be such that the median would be lower than the mean

True, but there can't be that much skew--there's only so many hours in the day.

There are some people who drive for work (eg. traveling salespeople, rideshare & delivery drivers, most tradespeople) and then there are others that drive to commute to an office for 8 hours. Rideshare & delivery drivers might be on the road for 8+ hours/day, tradespeople & traveling salespeople for 4-5, office workers for 20-60 minutes, with a skew toward the lower end of that. That's a pretty skewed distribution.

I drive 0 5-6 days a week. I also drive 2000 miles to FL and 600 miles to St Louis etc etc.

Somehow I put 32k miles in my EV in 2 years despite WFH with no commute
