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.
