Ok, wait. I regularly take a 1.5km (close to a mile) path uphill that I need 20min to walk (and people say I'm a fast walker). How are you all walking so fast? I need to wait for trafic semaphores and stuff, but how can walking almost 5km (more than 3 times my path) take only twice as long?

    I walk fast cause I'm 2 m tall and have long legs, but my ex used to walk a Pokemon go route with me that was 1.6 miles and it took us just about an hour to go through it and back. She was not very tall and had no problem keeping up.

    5km in an hour is a brisk walk. In 45 minutes it's probably closer to a jog. It's not super human but it's not a normal walking pace.

    15 minute mile is my "walking while listening to fast music" fast pace. It is definitely a brisk pace but this is not even close to jogging. And 3.5 miles is my normal distance.

    And even then, the point is more that if you are moving at 4 mph in your car, the car is doing almost no work. 4mph for a semi in shape human is perfectly reasonable to walk, so if that is all your car is providing you, it isn't worth it.
