This was brand-spanking new when I first drove it last March.

Without doing accurate addition, between mine and my wife's personal vehicles, I think that would be an addition 12,000...

I was actually wondering if anyone on here had the flex beaten. Now I know.

I used to put $400/mo. in the fuel tank of my Suburban. Does that count?

Your wallet seems to think so, and I concur!

Fellow company vehicle driver here.. 50-65k miles a year going on my 10th year. Lots of window time. A new vehicle every 2ish years or so and for extra oppo points this was my 1st one they gave me. (Not my photo obviously) Since that one its been mostly mini vans:(

That's not so bad. I just did the math and i put $220 a month in my Scion FRS. That car gets 32mph on the highway. That's just calculating weekdays, not including track/auto x/trips on the weekends.

Wow an Aztek as a company vehicle? Amazed! I'm jelly... Although getting to use a new Taco has been really enjoyable for me

Wow, that's quite a lot. What do you do if you don't mind me asking?

I think my father does around 55,000 km a year in his company car, but since he can also use it as a personnal vehicle, I don't know how much actually comes only from his work, I would guess around 45,000 of them.

Dont be jelly it was a piece o trash. They gave it to me with 80k on the odometer 3 flats and the back hatch was broken. I back filled a retiree's position and apparently it sat for months. Only had it 3-4 months then on to the mighty 04 dodge grand caravan.. My biggest regret was ditching the center console/cooler. Dont even recall getting rid of it but a couple years back noticed it was no longer amongst my collection of junk. One of my coworkers still has his I offer to buy it regularly. All together I'm on my 6th company vehicle most of them were within inches of the end of their life when turned in but a couple were survivors. All in all ive grown very accustomed to driving other peoples property:) cheers to not paying for gas ( I use about 5-8k's worth a year)

My job title is euphemized, the company is specialized, but I have a pretty sweet gig. And I would prefer to leave the specifics out for various reasons, one being that I can think of a handful of things I don't want coworkers or customers to necessarily see that I may or may not have posted on here :)

Just keep in mind my personal DD is 350$ beater, so, interpret that any way you want.

I don't miss commuting. I used to do 50k/yr for 8 years. And that was out of pocket with no reimbursement from the company I work for. Now, I'm happily getting fat behind the desk with no more Road Warrior duties.

My Suburban got 12 mpg, city or highway, it didn't matter. Had to love that 4.11:1 rear end, would leave ricers on the launch.
