Title: End-of-Year (or close to it) Odometer Readings
Post by: AlexandriaVA on January 01, 2020, 10:53:06 PM
Sep 2011 (purchase): 12k
2011: 14k
2012: 27k
2013: 37k
2014: 44k
2015: 53k
2016: 60k
2017: 69k
2018: 78k
2019: 84k

About 9,000 a year federal statistics (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm (https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm)) suggest a male in my age group drives about double that, 18K, on average). Numerous reasons why I have the numbers I have...no point in debating them at length, but figured I'd give it some context. Was hoping to get my car (2009 Elantra) to 100K, so that would get me through 2021 if all holds up.

EDIT: I should add that these figures are approximations, some more than other. I typically log mileage when service occurs. So if it was at 19K at the beginning of December and 21K at the end of January, I'd punch in 20K for that year's end.

About 44,500 on my 2018 Impreza and 5,700 on my 2016 Challenger.  I bought both cars from new, in the case of the Impreza my mileage is about 50/50 split on stuff I do for Gribblenation and work.

About 310,725 on my 2008 Toyota Prius (now used only for local driving), and 69739 on my 2018 Subaru Forester. Both I bought new. The Forester I bought at the end of May 2018, so I've owned it for only 19 months.

Hitting up on 100,000 on both of my cars.  Selling one very soon.

About 310,000 on my 2008 Toyota Prius (now used only for local driving), and almost 70,000 on my 2018 Subaru Forester. Both I bought new. The Forester I bought at the end of May 2018, so I've owned it for only 19 months.

How many electric motors have you gone through on that Prius?

Zero. The gas engine still does most of the work, with the electric motor just providing a power boost when needed, such as to supply low-end torque for which the undersized gas engine is woefully deficient. Unlike later Prius generations, my car's electric motor isn't powerful enough to move the car by itself, it only works in tandem with the gas engine (which also recharges the hybrid battery -- can't plug it into a charger or power outlet).

The hybrid battery is still going strong. Its longevity was something Prius owners worried about at first, since if the hybrid battery dies the car's performance goes into the toilet, and it might be time to junk the car. But no problems so far.

Officially hit 70,000 on my 2010 Mazda 3 on Christmas Day 2019, roughly 10¼ years after buying the car new. I'm currently averaging only about 3500/year, due largely to the fact that I no longer commute by car.

125,500 on my 2016 Malibu which I bought new in Feb 2016...

65% of these miles are from commuting to work...

Currently 95,000 miles on my Scion xD; only 8-9K a year because of air travel and rental cars.

30,1xx on my 2016 Chevy Cruze.  I just bought it last Friday at 29,9xx.  Most of my driving is done around town.

About 127,000 on 2016 Buick LeCrosse, bought in October 2015.

About 30,000 miles per year, and I don't need to drive to work.

Here are my numbers for previous years. As you can see, I don't drive all that much. Last year I don't have the numbers for, since I'm too lazy to go downstairs and check.


2O12 2,OOO
2O13 1O,OOO
2O14 7,OOO
2O15 8,OOO
2O16 1O,OOO
2O17 7,OOO
2O18 5,OOO

In only four months, I've put almost 6,000 miles on my new Jeep Grand Cherokee. I had another Grand Cherokee before the one I had now and it had around 77,000 miles in five years.

After buying a used 2016 Chevy Cruze at the end of September, I'm at 31,300. I've already done 5500 miles in it, but much of that was driving to Omaha and back twice, and then driving around Omaha the whole time I was there.

I had one of those as a work travel car, ended up putting 158,000 miles on it in 30 months.  That little car was surprisingly robust.
