  • How many miles do you have on your car?

    Been driving my '86 El Camino since '96 (found it abandoned and restored the thing). It had 91k when we picked it up. 121.5k today.

        64K on a 15-year-old Saturn. Now you know why the jump in gas prices last year didn't sting me much.

            127K on a '85 Prelude.

            Used to drive more when I first bought it, but now I walk whenever possible, including to work. I fill up gas every 1.5 - 2 months.

                95k on my '95 car. I bought the car early '06 when it had 82k miles. Like Leo, the exorbitant gas prices didn't impact me a lot but, still, my gas bill was probably close to twice what it woulda been had the price not escalated.

                  Keep in mind, my husband has a delivery business.......

                  163K - '97 Mountaineer
                  147K - '05 Saturn
                  135K - '96 Nissan Maxima

                  The Mountaineer was bought in '02 with 45K on it, the Saturn was bought new (nothing but problems with that one) and the Nissan was bought with 130K on it (My mother mostly drives this one - best in the bunch)

                  As you can imagine, the jump in gas prices almost put us in bankruptcy. Our only saving grace is that most of that gas is tax deductible.

                    300,000+ on the 68 ELDO. I bought it in 1973 with 44,000 miles on it.

                      I bought a 95 Ford Ranger new and drove it until it had 340,000 miles on it. Never overhauled. No major mechanical issues. It was burning up a quart of oil every 3,000 miles, but running great. When I moved to Hawaii, I sold it to a friend.

                        '97 Totota RAV4: 148,000

                        2WD; stick shift; bought new & driven everywhere on the left coast- even driven up to Vancouver, Victoria & Calgary, Canada. Averaging right around 30 mpg. Too bad all new RAV4s are automatic and HUGE compared to my '97.

                          I'm still here. Are you?

                            Less than 30K on my little old 1983 Italian sports car.

                              94K on a 2001 Civic, and it's begging for a new timing belt.
