Haha ok so I bought the 8 in October 2004. Traded her in in August 2006 with 11,750 miles on it. That's about 6000 miles per year or around 500 miles per month.

Bought the GTO in August 2006 with 1,700 miles on it. Currently has close to 6000 miles on it now. So that's about 860 miles driven per month.

About 1500 miles a month on the 8 and 1500 miles a month on the CX7.

I'll be driving the 7 a good bit more since I'm rackin miles faster then I want to on the 8.

A little over 18000 miles over 30 months of ownership works out to about 600 miles a month. But my 8 is parked for about 4 months out of the year too, so it would be a lot higher if that wasn't the case.

About 32.8 miles per day, 984 miles per month, and 11972.3 miles per year. As an engineer, I tend to keep track of every number I can crunch in Excel.

car just hit the 40k mark but that was all the previous driver. in the 6 months i've had it i've put on about 1500 miles. i need to get out more. of course it also helps that my main commute to work is about 5 miles round trip.

I do about 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year on my own car, a few thousand on my wife's car, and probably a couple of thousand on rental cars.

In the six months I've had my 8, I've put just under 6,000 miles on it.

well, b/c it's cold and i have to warm up my car and then it's a short commute, my mpg would be pretty bad. i think i'm averaging about 16mpg b/c of it. but i've already said it doesn't matter to me b/c work pays for it. so whether i drove 10 miles or 10k miles each month it doesn't matter to me. was there a point?
