You need to post EXPLAIN ANALYZE of your query. It could be that an index scan is actually not a good plan (for
example,a sequential scan might be faster if most of your vehicles have low mileage). Without the EXPLAIN ANALYZE,
there'sno way to say what's going on.
Did you ANALYZE your database after you loaded the data?
