Right, if people never commute to work, they'd never use cars. It's not like our entire country is built with the assumption that you'll need to use a car for going literally anywhere (unless you live in few select big cities with great public transportation).

This argument is so weak.

The number of miles I put on my car per year has gone down to about 40% or less what I was doing pre-pandemic. I got the standard lease of 12k miles per year for my new car and I'm on track to do about 6k miles this year. Pre-pandemic I think I was doing 14-16k per year.

For this past year I'm driving about what I used to outside of work, so working from home has been the only major change (2020 was different, I barely used my car and had to put fuel stabilizer in it a couple times).
