I’m trying not to sound like I’m up on some kind of high horse* here but…
Ours gets used for nothing but short journeys of around 2 miles each way
my mind boggles at why anyone would regularly use a car to travel 2 miles, unless lugging vast amounts of stuff.
There’s a guy I work with who lives almost exactly half way between my house and my work, I have a 3 mile ride to get there, and he drives, every day, I overtake him on the way in and on the way home 90% of the time.
I just don’t get it, he pays money every day to sit in his car for 10 – 30 minutes depending on traffic, he could walk it in almost the same time, or ride it in half the time.
* Disclaimer – I am not anti car, I have 2, just don’t use them for journeys where I think they are inappropriate.
