Tiny mileage is another of those silly misconceptions about Europeans and motoring. Most people in the industrial world repeat the same journeys day after day: a drive to an out of town shopping centre (10mi), to see a friend (20mi), to work and back (30mi). As a result the average distances covered are remarkably similar.
You must also remember that it's as easy to drive from Hamburg to Brindisi as it is from New York and Miami, the latter being the shorter journey!
