Our '05 Ford Focus has very close to 80,000 miles on it (we bought it in February 2010 with about 50,000 miles on it, so averaging less than 6,000 miles a year), and our '01 Acura TL has about 125,000 on it (purchased in January 2012 with around 117,000 on it, so averaging a bit more than 2,000 miles a year). We usually drive the Ford when going out of town, since the gas mileage is better. I mostly walk to work, and DH's job is about 2 miles from where we live. We spend very little on gas. Choice of where to live has made a huge difference for us financially.
