50,000 miles

[fbhjr]

My little car that I still think of as new hit 50,000 miles today after 2 1/2 years. (It is a not round number of 80,467.2km…)


This year has had my worst and my best milage on the car.

The winter was tough and the car does not like the cold. It drives fine in it. But, lights, wipers, heaters and defrosters all take power and power for that is not power to getting me farther down the road for the same amount of gas.

It is even more jagged if you look at the individual tanks.

I’m sure once the cold really gets going, that black average line will be headed down again.

All in all, I’m still quite happy with my car.
I hope the winter isn’t too bad.

Wow. My car is 19 years old and hasn't yet hit 100,000km. I bought it in 2010 at 58,000, and I think it's now on about 92,000.

It's about 60km each way to work for me. And, we've taken the car on several long trips. So, it adds up.
