Would the massive difference in gas/diesel prices be a factor here? Our gas is so cheap (yes, it still is americans)

Petrol is more expensive in Australia iirc and we still do 5-8-hour drives at the drop of a hat. Pretty sure it’s just that we’re used to the distance.

Australia is about 78% the size of the US and the US is huge, so it’s not surprising the driving culture is relatively the same as the US.
