We like road trips and my car is the best on gas mileage. I haven't had my car a year yet, but right now it looks like we'll put about 18k a year on it. We took a big 5k road trip for Christmas so this year is pretty high.
I don't know about the DH's car but I'm sure it's at least 15k a year.

I only put about 8000 miles per year. I carpooled a lot with DH when I was working.

@sunny: Because of our big road trips and I hate Seattle traffic, I try to carpool or take the bus to work. Earlier this year, I thought was going to put 25K on my car. Luckily I'm at almost 15k and I have 3 more months to go.

@jhd: 1K a month isn't that bad. That's only 12k a year and I think the national average is 12-15k a year.
Wow, found this. http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm

I put on nearly 20K each of the last three years. Work required me to be in courts that were over 100 miles round trip several times a year. Also, my car is better than DH's car, so we basically drive it all the time. I am hoping to get back down to 12K or so a year from here on out.

6000 a year or so. I don't commute, so that helps a lot.

@bluestriped bee: you're right it's not too bad but that doesn't count trips or just wanting to go places on weekends. we live in a small town so often drive a lot on weekends too.
