Mileage is one of many factors in our vehicle purchase but probably not top 5 right now. At one point we were both commuting many miles and transporting kids to sports practice after work so 30k miles per year was not uncommon. In those days gas mileage was important and Toyotas were a family staple.

These days I am retired and wife commutes only 20 min to work so mileage is much less. My truck and RV average 16mpg, Lexus averages 22mpg, Porsche averages 22mpg and that is just fine. I have no interest in super high gas mileage because fuel expense is pretty low each month. There are better ways to reduce expenses in our lives and our carbon footprint is relatively low, as if that even matters.

My son in law drives 1 hr each way into downtown Houston every day and by driving a Tesla his commuting expense is rock bottom. This is where an EV makes sense in the family. His weekend fun car is a Corvette Z-06.
