You'll always see fewer older cars on the freeway, for a whole range of different reasons. If you drive around the inner suburbs of Melbourne you'll see tons of older cars (but also in the outer suburbs). They are primarily owned by people who don't work 9-5, or who don't drive to work. i.e.take public transport, but still need a car to do the shopping in. Most owners of these old crap boxes are elderly - 70+, on the dole/unemployed, or students. None are the type who do long distance freeway driving.
