It's not even very good logic (in my humble, non-expert opinion). There are more cars about, so even if the number of bugs was the same there would be less bugs per car, and that ignores that cars are more aerodynamic and so are probably just killing less bugs anyway!

The aerodynamic thing is where money is at. I drive a 91 jeep and I still have to use the windo washer at the gas station, cause the wipers are insufficient.

I imagined they used bugs per license plate for that. Since those are fixed size and vertical.

There's probably still a bit of aerodynamic effect, but yeah that sounds a lot more scientific!
