    Bought the truck in December 09 and now have 8300 on it, and I only drive it on the weekends. That will be changing here soon so I'll most likely hit 20K a year when I start using it as my DD.

    I drive around 25K per year, would probably be 35K+ but sometimes I use a company car. I am a consulting engineer which requires me to meet with the clients and visit the construction sites, where ever they may be in the Northeast!

    Ya, this is crazy. Looks like my kind is more of the norm. I hope for things to change soon. Driving this much drives me insane, not to mention rush hour, time spent in traffic and the over-all cost.

    I think my monthly cost of fuel alone rivals some car payments (it's more than my wife's car payment, on her 35 mpg Scion).

    Sometimes, I think it might just be better to live in a NYC type city and just ride the public transit... save on car payments, insurances and cost of operation. Then again, I don't exactly have to share the taco with random homeless people either.
