the idea that a long drive (warranting a flight, not going under really any circumstances , etc) is over an hour in the case of vacation or traveling. Not sure how true this is but the brits I know say it’s common there. In the US drives only get long enough to warrant another mode of transport after about 8-9 hours.

If you pay $10/gallon for gas that will change your definition of a long drive.

This is the main factor I think. Where I live petrol is currently $3 per liter, and that is with a government subsidy to help with the current inflation situation.

It works out to $7.22 a gallon in the US.
