    Anyone else here drive a crazy amount of miles?

    Due to unforeseen circumstances (ie divorce) I am now living quite a bit of distance from my job. As of right now I'll be putting about 25k a year on my Vue. Most of it is fortunately highway but it still drives me nuts. Anybody else drive a lot?

    Sorry to hear of your circumstances. A long drive only adds to the joys(?) of a work day. I'm retired, but rack up 25k a year mainly fall and winter. Recreational driving is a breeze compared to required driving. Less monotonous.

      I wouldn't say that is totally out of the norm. That is about 96 miles each day round trip 5 days a week. My brother in law drives that much to work. Just put on some good music, enjoy the ride and I find driving relaxing unless there is a lot of traffic. Also, you have an excuse to get new cars more often.

        Wow David! 25k a year for fun. That I actually would enjoy. The drive itself isn't too bad. I'm just bummed I'll be eating through tires. Oh well. I'm getting an average of 24+ mpg though on a AWD with a 3.5L V6 so I guess I shouldn't complain too much Thanks for your thoughts!

            I used to, back when I was commuting I would travel 54 miles one way. Then on top of that my girlfriend lived 29 miles one way. So it was a mess for a while, then I moved in with her, and closer to the job. 10 miles round trip per day now. Lovin it.

              40 mpg diesel, why not?
              It wont take long for you to go through the factory warranty, though.
