alt Hacker NewsThe average American driver gets about 25 mpg and drives about 15-20k miles. That's exactly in line with the tax rate here.

Seems unlikely.
55 miles/day, 365 days a year? Also, look at lease mileage limits.

Now you've moved the goal posts to about half of your original claim. And it's still not accurate (links have already been provided elsewhere in this thread). And the only thing I've owned in the last 30 years that gets 25 mpg is a camper van (and, no, that thing doesn't move anywhere near 15K miles/year).
The average American car does not drive 20k miles. 12,500 is the average yearly mileage.
And it's an EV, a closer comparison should be something more like a hybrid. It's not a giant truck.
