Don't discount the other side of the equation! Yes,
ownership use is more costly but US net disposable incomes
are higher and the same is true of UK earnings versus EU.
That matters a great deal.

Take another look at the numbers:

There are various ways of calculating disposable income.  The first
and most simple method (per capita) seems to be the most common:

Sorted by PPP (purchasing power parity), the US appears as number one.
UK is the 15th country from the top of the list.  The EU average is
the same or slightly more than UK.

Hardly a fair comparison. Imagine 2 countries, both with a
population of 1000.
In the first, one guy makes 1.000 million a month, everyone
else 1.000 a month.
In the second all of them make 1 million a month.
By simple math, the first country's average "disposable income
per capita" would be superior, even though 99.9% of the citizens live
in poverty.
Statistics lie.
