- morsch 6y agoOn a whim I dedided to double-check, you're right at least for residents of the USA and Germany (~21500km vs ~13600km average). https://www.kba.de/DE/Statistik/Kraftverkehr/VerkehrKilometer/vk_inlaenderfahrleistung/vk_inlaenderfahrleistung_inhalt.html https://www.kba.de/DE/Statistik/Kraftverkehr/VerkehrKilomete... https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm
- ghaff 6y agoWhich is pretty consistent with the context of the comment in general. I'm guessing Germany has a relatively high amount of driving relative to Europe on average and that's within the range where the average driver in Germany is probably fine with a once-per-year oil change. Whereas, in the US, they should be getting one more frequently.
