I also to thought this was really high but then it’s an American narrator so maybe this is American travel times?. I’m not to sure about the UK and other countries I’m 20 miles a day to my work.
I can see how the figure may fly up if I used to travel to an old work doing almost 100 miles a day. (This doesn’t even include running costs of the vehicle, oil changes and such)
Also I forgot to add that it’s not 15% fuel etc. It’s no more than 15%
