I suspect that those of us who live in the country have far more economical driving habits.
When I drive, I do all my driving at that time. Also I have little or no traffic issues to deal with as well as fewer stops and starts.
I try to go into town once a week whether I need to or not. It’s interesting to see how things change, and they change a lot from week to week. Those who go into town every day may not notice some of the smaller changes, but it is a lot in a week.
