While working my wife and I lived and worked downtown so we walked to and from work or rode light rail during bad weather. For four years after o0ur car was totaled we didn't even own a vehicle. Our car mileage was always minimal and primarily accrued by pleasure driving during day and longer trips.
Now that we're retired and have changed states we drive a lot more. Being relatively rural, even grocery shopping requires an almost 40 mile round trip and medical appointments almost 50; sometimes 110-120. Annual mileage, including our exploration trips, runs 10,000-12,000.
I'm an introvert and avoid people and social situations. So I drive a total of about 3,000 miles a year.
You've got me beat for low mileage. I average less than 5,000 mi. a year for the past four years. I've put less than 20,000 on my car since I bought it. And that includes a couple of several thousand mile vacations/road trips. I drive six miles a day round trip for work and that's about it. On days off my car rarely leaves the driveway. I hardly ever leave town but I am ready for a few days road trip...soon!
I put on about 180 miles in the past twelve months......
