I put at about 2000-2500 miles on my car a month. I do an awful lot of driving it seems. During the summer, there was a week where I put roughly 1800 miles on the car, most of the week was spend in the car! I don't think I've ever filled up so many times in one week as I did then.
At the time I had 3 jobs, and one of them was over 120 miles out one way. Lots of time spent in the car.
This past summer, I put around 8000 miles on my car alone.
These days, my daily drive isn't so long, I just go back and forth a lot. I'm taking classes at MHCC which is about a 40 minute drive from where I park the wagon every night. I also seem to always end up taking someone to somewhere it seems. In fact, this Thursday I'll be taking a trip from Portland up to Olympia, Washington to bring a friend back down to Portland. I'll probably take him back up on Friday, and come home. (He's paying for the gas on all 4 trips... heh heh heh.)
I don't mind doing the driving at all. I could honestly sit in the car and drive 6 straight hours and not mind. Only thing that keeps me from doing that is the cost of gas...
Oh well, the speed limits on most of the highways in Oregon are still 55 mph, and I never speed, so my gas mileage is good.
I'd say I demand quite a bit out of my car, and it's never let me down. I reward it with oil changes every 3000 miles.
