But also your statement indicates that the flagging on my post is inaccurate and isn't a false premise so thank you for that

Interesting. In NYC I've always felt like 30,000 cars from Brooklyn are equal to 100,000 cars from nicer areas in Jersey. But yeah, I totally get what you're saying in the grand scheme.

This is clearing things up for sure. Don't motorbikes or bikes get rated by hours used? But yes I'm beginning to understand this better.
Maybe partial logic is that a majority of cars have a balanced average amount of highway versus Urban miles?, And that this metric is in fact truest in the sense of modern technology too?
Sorry my articulation is a little fuzzy today.

Right, so the part that confuses me is that we can look at mileage and say oh it had every 5,000 miles or 3,000 miles another oil change but this literally does not take into account the fact that this car could have sat idling for many many hours very often. And there is no metric to determine engine output. It just seems like a vital detail that is missing.

I think this is the answer I'm looking for. Basically, it could be useful but we just stuck with it. Thank you for your response.

It's an awful run on sentence more wear and tear was referring to the urban miles. But yeah. My bad
