Although his statement pretty much sums up this site
I suspect the steep dirt roads and New Hampshire winters had something to do with it.

EDIT:
Also the difference between 55 mpg and 75 mpg at the miles he was driving is $4 a week. Not a lot of people are going to go through much trouble to save that much money.

* 14,300 miles per year, $3 a gallon gas
