2181.818 Miles/month

That's about 78 miles a day!

Currently at 48,000 after 22 months of ownership.

That's hardcore...and stupidly expensive...

33 months of ownership.

1,212 miles per month average. So about 40 miles a day.

Roughly $6,200 in fuel cost so far.

Got about 15k on the odo, and ~6weeks til I hit the 1year mark. So I'll figure 10 months to hit 15k - so 1500 per month. Obviously, it's a dd.

About 500/month 6K in the first year. Almost 95% city driving. I long for the open road but with the kids and work find it hard to get there.

Well, my car is now 10 months old. I have 12,000 miles on it right now. This also includes about three months worth of non-driving time in there.

About 1600 miles/month in 15 months of ownership. Damn, I need to get out and drive more. I wonder if work will let me drive instead of flying....
