I've got over 25k on my car in 08, around 5k between my two trucks. Worst I ever had was 2.5 years and 75k on my 01 toyota celica.

When commuting 250 a day, that would be correct. Right now it's about 2-3 hrs. 80% of my driving is on interstate highway. I cruise about 80 mph on average.

After 1 year, I have a smidge under 2,800. The truck gets used, but it is not my daily driver. I put most miles on it Spring - Fall.

Right around 12k a year, about par with the the 3month/3,000 mile tune ups... I bought my 05' new with 23 miles on it and it just barely hit the 50k mark last month. Not to bad for a daily driver

I'd like to get a little bike or something fuel efficient this summer, and do most of my driving on that over the truck, save me some time with the old Dodge.

ive put about 7500 miles on mine for the first year its my daily driver too. I do alot of highway driving though, 6500 of those miles are highway miles probably if not more. I do quite a few 700 mile trips to see the gf seeing as i moved away from her and she cant move here yet cus shes gotta finish her last year of school. I realy like driving though so i dont mind being the one who always goes

i averaged about 18-20K miles a year, but just recently changed jobs. it's a little closer to home, but i still average about 55 miles a day for work. i've put 10K on it since I bought it in june of '08, so i may only hit about 15K this year...

that on top of the minivan we own, which currently has 53K miles in less than 4 years. combined we average about 30K miles a year!

Looks like I am around 24k a year. Hard to say, I put 6000 miles on the truck in 4 months since I got it. Getting Divorced and the OLD homestead is 75 miles from work. Still travel a lot back and forth on weekends, so it is keeping the miles up. Worth it to spend time with the little one though.

That is down from when I lived with "her" and drove 45k a year (but not in the guzzler, in a rice burner) to work. To expensive to live in NJ where I work, so lived in PA, and had a horrible commute. Now rent in NJ next to work!
