Well, if you fell for the marketing ploy by the major fuel distributors, to enhance their profit margins, that's on you.
I always put whatever fuel is cheapest and the performance difference is not even remotely discernable.

"The only claims I made were about my personal fuel consumption and the value of an EV to me - see my first comment in this thread."

Nope. False.
Your claims were not about you personally; they were about a "hypothetical" (your word, not mine) car owner.

I merely demonstrated that hypothesis would represent an outlier, several standard deviations away from the mean.

"although I note that know you've gone from using the abs average of 12,000km/year to your own much lower invented value of 10,000km/year to try to support your rapidly failing point."

God, are you that obtuse?
I clearly explained in a previous post that the 12,000 figure is a combination of passenger and freight, meaning the number for passenger vehicles along has to be lower than that.

"Just because EVs have far more rapid acceleration, doesn't mean you have to drive them that way. It's only there if you need it. And I doubt people are braking faster in EVs than in ICEs. EV tyres also tend to have low rolling resistance.
You are going to have to come up with a different theory on EV tyre wear, because your current theory basing it on differing driving styles is just silly."

I own shares one of Australia's largest tyre distributors. During various discussions with the management of that company, they report far higher SKU velocity in replacement tyres for EVs than they do for similar sedans.
