My wife and I share one car, a 2016 Honda Fit, and after 6 years it has 18,000 miles on it. We live close to where we work, in a compact city, use bcycles and our feet, and so simply don't drive that much.
I do have sympathy for those who have to drive a lot and don't really have a choice. People who live in rural areas or in metropolitan areas where the combination of high real estate costs and poor public transportation networks force people to live in distant exurbs.
Also for people who drive for a living and are paying for their own fuel.
The rest, driving more as a lifestyle choice and driving bigger vehicles than they need? Not much sympathy.
