Hmm why is the air travel an average and the car travel isn't? Not sure what is exactly being compared here?

I’m not sure what the car travel figure would be, if not an average. They say their data sources are given in the appendix (page 16).

My main reason for the post was not so much about the comparison but just to give a general overview of what 5 individual activities are noteworthy (according to the Draw Down Project).
