I average 10,500 per year. That is why my 2005 F150 has only 166k on it.

Before 'Rona I got an STI as my daily driver and retired my '05 Ram to a ranch truck only. I averaged 9000/year on my car and 4000/year on my truck. This past year, I'd be shocked if I did more than 4000 miles on my car. Working from home it sits for a week or two at a time. I still use the truck about as much. Loving the low gas bill

Some of you'll drive a lot!
I did 70 miles round trip for Houston commute for almost 4 years. As mentioned by someone else, a bumper to bumper rush hour commute will test the best of anyone. The wife and I eventually made the decision to move closer into town. It was tough as in order to be in a decent area and be within a good school district required an adjustment on housing as there's a lot less bang for your buck the closer to the Beltway you get.
Regardless, I drive less than 10 miles per day and my wife drives less than 5. There is definitely savings to a short commute and more time at home. There's also no question that a short commute will extend the life of your vehicle if you choose to keep one multiple years.

Funny part is I hardly ever got north of freer.

lol. Yeah, I can feel this one.
Two drivers and four primary vehicles - at least one, sometimes two are parked at an airport.
Three ranches that we work on - East Texas, Llano, and Cotulla with frequent visits (8 hour span) Most of the time we take two trucks to the ranch to haul dogs. It's 20 minutes to a grocery store, 30 minutes to a real store no matter where we are, and even worse than that in south Texas.
House in Florida - two offices there are on the Gulf coast side.
Several of my clients are in Miami (that's on the other coast), a few are in Pensacola and Panama City, and one is in Jacksonville.
Lots of the time I charter flights, but I still do a bunch of driving.
I'm here this week working in San Antonio and Dallas and Cotulla, maybe Houston.
Back to Florida this weekend, then Louisiana, then back to Texas next week.
Corona has been nice in that I don't have to travel for depositions or expert witness work, but now the trials are starting to happen...so that means more driving.
I think it was about 80k on the road for us last year
