    I bought my '09 in October 2008 and now have 55,600 miles on it. That's why I bought the 4 cylinder. I change the oil every 3500 miles which works out to about every six weeks.

    51 cents a mile!

    So if you get 20 mpg, for every gallon of gas you use driving to work you are reimbursed $10.20? If gas cost $4 per gallon you would make $6.20 in profit on every gallon you use.

    Is the company you work for retarded?

    When you drive a personal vehicle for work use, you have to account for depriciation, wear and tear, insurance, ect. I beleive the Gov. allotment this year is .51 or .52 cents per mile. When you rack up miles like that the value drops like a rock.

    Since '09 I went from having somewhere in the high 30s to having 73K. I commute 60 miles to school twice a week, and frequently visit my Dad in Atlanta. I hate the girlfriends car (as does she, now looking to dump the Honda for a Scion) so we drive my truck everywhere.

    I've owned my taco about 7 months and I have put over 30,000 on it.

    I drive all over the country for work... She has been everywhere from downtown Boston to mountain tops in Montana.

    Throughout college I averaged about 20-25k a year, because of commuting to and from school. I've put about 10k on my truck since I got it in July, but most of that was from moving for the Air Force (Driving between Ohio and Alabama three times, and from Alabama to California; about 4k miles total). I only put about 150-200 miles on it a week now which would average out to around 8000-10,500 per year.

    My '07 only has just shy of 30k on it, so I guess I drive it way more than the previous owner.
