It’s not a joke. Judging someone by a vehicle that gets poor gas mileage is idiotic unless you know their usage pattern.
Someone with a Jeep in their driveway who has no commute at all and works from home so they only drive 10k miles a year is far better than the Prius driver who does 40k a year and has to buy vehicles 4x as frequently.
This doesn't make sense. It would be better if the person who owns the jeep and only puts 10k on a year has a Prius as well. The Prius is always more fuel efficient.
> better than the Prius driver who does 40k a year and has to buy vehicles 4x as frequently.
But worse than the F-150 driver who never hauls anything and works in an office and has to buy the same amount of vehicles. Again, doesn't make sense. You can always compare the other way.
