Probably not even as much as that dee, I will check later. But my car is the car only used for local trips, it doesn't go that far at all. Ann Glos

Just checked 1029 in the last year (59600 on the clock - 1993 car). But we are away for at least 10 weeks in the year, and if it is very local we walk. Ann Glos

About 12000 as we like plenty of days out and a 300 mile round trip is about par for the course. We also visit son and family in Scotland - a round trip of 500 miles. Only got a 1000cc 02 Yaris but a brilliant motor and 50mpg at least on a long trip provided I'm not doing an exceedingly good 70mph. Even if you dont cover many miles a year make sure you at least have the oil changed as per the handbook but preferably every 6 months and do do a fast run every so often to burn some muck of the engine components

Hi Ronald, I do a bit of motorway driving and am not averse to putting my foot down Joy, I have always fancied a chauffeur driven stretch limo, and if I ever win the lottery I may treat myself to one. Men in uniforms ;-)) Dee x
