They say the average American drives right around 13,500 miles year. Then there are folks like you on the high end, and folks like my mom on the low end. She had a 16 mile round trip commute to work and never ever in her life put more than 3,000 miles per year on a car. When she retired it dropped to 1,000 a year. She put 77,000 miles on her 1976 Ford Pinto in 27 years. She replaced it with a Ford Focus and when she passed it had just hit 10,000 miles.
With COVID sending everyone to work from home, I put maybe 5 thousand miles on my car last year. I'm not expecting to put much more on it this year. It looks like my car is going to last longer than I expected.
