I drive a 1997 Accord which just turned 65,000 miles. Let's do the math (simple ratio):
mileage/age of vehicle = miles driven per year
65000 mi/16 yrs = 4062.5 miles driven per year
Low mileage, because I live just by the city's edge relatively close to places I commonly go to. It was my dad's car new and he had a short commute and so have I with school for the past 3 years now.
I think it's a good way to compare the mileage of different cars in relation to their age. What's yours? Curious to see who has the lowest ratio here and who has the highest...

Estimates, but really close because A: I don't drive the Focus but see the Odo, B: The truck is outside and its wet and C: the Saab died on me and I haven't seen the odo in months.
'07 Focus - 79,000/7 = 11285.71
'95 Dakota - 180100/19 = 9478.95
'87 900 SPG - 352000/27 = 13037.04

I've had my main car for almost 1 year exactly, so this is some math even I can do:
9,886/1 = 9,886 per year
Probably would have been more, but I travel for work so there are some weeks, and months, she doesn't get driven at all. I use any excuse to drive - wife needs a cup of milk at 10pm to bake something, off to the store! Come back an hour later, whoops forgot the milk... Back to the car!

I've had my 2013 WRX for 6 months. 8,000 miles= 16k per year.
2/3rds of those miles were trips to Indiana, Missouri and Virginia from Oklahoma, so shouldn't be too many more this year.
I've had my 1978 e21 for 5 months and I've put 2,000 miles on it. 4,800 per year.
Driving it back from Iowa was 800 miles. The rest have been daily driving miles.
My e21 is 35 years old and has 63,000 miles. 1,800 per year.

2010 Chevy Camaro - 73k
1986 Porsche 944 - 105k
2003 Ford F250 - 110k
1999 Ford Ranger - 235k
This was taken about a month ago.
Can you tell which I drive the most. To be fair, the Porsche was in need of repair and sat in my garage for a good 6 years only being started every three months to keep the engine etc. functioning, 2 years ago I brought it out, cleaned it up, replaced the carpet and fixed some things, did some necessary servicework and it's driving again.
