    Sounds like if you ever want to replace a car, you should completely disregard fuel consumption and other variable costs, both from an economic and ecological perspective.

    Yeah, at least Rachel's car.

    Mine is 7 years old this month with 56k on it, so less than 675mi per month. Quite a bit more than hers, but less than average in the US, that's for sure.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      We have put 7437 miles on the Audi we bought on 10/8/2018.

      That’s 17 months ago.

      Comes out to about 440 miles per month.

      But, considering I took a 320 mile round trip to Davenport in November, it’s not too bad.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Actually, for two adults and one car, I think that's pretty good, about 100 miles a week.

            We usually drive around 40K km per year, distributed over two cars. This year it’s going to be significantly less.

                Did you buy it new? That's only about 7500K miles a year.
