    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.

      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.
