I bought mine with 92,500KM (~57,800Miles) on 6/04/07 and on 4/29/08 I was at 126,500KM (~79,000miles). So I figure I will have put 37,000KM(23,125miles) on it by the time I have had it for a year.

I bought min 1 year and 3 months ago with 17 miles on it.. now it has about 13500 on it. I have a work company truck now, so I'd belucky to drive my truck 100 miles at best on the weekend and that is it. Maybe 400 miles a month right now . During the week it just sits in the driveway under a cover..... I felt sorry for it just sitting there for five days straight, in the brutal sunlight .

I only drive my truck on Tuesdays to the car auction for my dealership and about every other weekend to use around the house. Probably about 175 miles per week which is a little less then 10k per year. I used to put about 30k per year on my vehicles but now I have a dealership with about 30 other vehicles to drive instead of my own.

So far I bought the truck with 63000 miles, and now it has 68800 miles after 5 weeks. That isn't driving for fun, thats driving places because I need to. So that is about40k miles a year.At this rate I amgoing to have 120k miles on it before I am even out of high school!
Thats driving places you "need to" go. Why, while in high school, do you "need to" drive so much? Do you commute to school or what.

Well my school is only about 3 miles. My SAT prep is 10 miles away. So from Monday-Friday I drive about 80-90 miles(going to the store or something for a project also, or a friends house)

The real miles come from my job. I drive to Oklahoma every weekend, which is 300 round trip. Thats not including pulling the lawn mower or the tractor to a different house(my dad builds lake houses on Lake Texhoma, and I work for him to pay off my truck.) So That is about another 100-150 miles. Do the math thats about 650-700 miles a week, meaning I fill up once a week. I get 650 miles out of each tank with a total of 44 gallons.
Just so yall know I keep 2 5 gallon gas cans in my toolbox for either my truck or the tractor, and fuel in Oklahoma is 4.48 a gallon. In Dallas it is $4.03, So I use the gas cans to avoid filling up in Oklahoma! Filled up today and got 18mpg out of the whole tank Not to bad with 450 highway miles, and 200 city miles. LOVE the CTD!!!!!!!
