About half what I'm driving, rate-wise, it seems. Wish I could get away with that, but everything seems to be far from everything else, and I seem to have to go places way too often. The health club is 20 miles, each direction, and I'm getting there 3 - 4 times a week. Adds up.
If I could get it down to 15,000 miles a year, I could lease a car. As it is, I would have to lease 2 in order to make leasing work. Thinking about it, as I'm figuring to attempt to have only cars newer that 100,000 miles on the odo, so I can have a 100,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warranty so I don't get hit at the service bay. Last repair on the Jeep was $2300 to get 4 things fixed - exhaust manifold replacement, cat converter replacement, power steering pump replacement (pevious one lasted 6 months), and neutral safety switch replacement (the thing that started the whole service incident - and that part alone cost about $327. Don't want to be buying parts myself any more... get one of these warranties to do it. I've had synchros go at 40,000 and 80,000 miles on the same car, with the mfg warranty covering the 1st, the bumper to bumper catching the 2nd. Mitsubishi trannies suck, BTW.)
Anyway, are you where you can get to things real close, or just stay home a lot?
