Or another good one is, "highway miles". We used to laugh at that stupid shite when I was in the car business. Miles are miles.
This isn't really true.
A vehicle that is actually mostly highway miles (most that say this aren't) will have a third of the wear and tear of a vehicle with that same mileage used in the typical manner.
You will see this mostly in a car that someone used to travel for work.

On the drivetrain side, an unusually large percentage of wear comes from cold starts. It is possible a 200+ mile highway trip causes just a small incremental increase in wear on certain parts than a school run in the morning.

This. Engine hours matter.
