LOL This was one thing that I learned when stationed in Germany. Europeans simply do not drive as far to work as North Americans. In many cases the countries are so smaller and compact that long distance driving is almost unheard of where as here things are just plain spread out much more. It is very easy to see why we have higher mileages.

From the interwebs.

"Only approximately 15% of the labour force in Sweden commutes for over one hour per day, round trip, while the average travel time for work commutes is 39 minutes per day, round trip."

"In Canada, the average commute time ranges from 60 to 75 minutes, or 57 km one-way. Over 30% of commuters must drive for a longer time or distance than this."
