Considering that 98% of commutes are less than 25 miles, the 200 mile standard is a red herring:

Considering that 98% of commutes are less than 25 miles, the 200 mile standard is a red herring: My comments may not apply to some but they certainly apply to me.At least 90% of my miles are driven at 70mph and my typical trip (which I make often) is 70 miles.However,it's not unusual for me to drive I-90/I-91 and I-95 to NYC...a trip of about 200 miles.
To me buying an $85K car mainly for a 10 mile round trip to the office is silly.

Who collected the data for that slick chart?
And how was it collected? Data recorders or surveys?
