How about some more math: National average of 12,000 miles per year @ average of 25mpg and $2.60/gal gas (probably a bit cheap). That's $1248 for gas. Now for a delivery driver that does more in town driving. 50,000 miles @ 18mpg (in a hurry to get there on time!) and $2.60/gal $7,222 for gas. I reeeally hope you're getting good tips while delivering pizzas. Anyone remember back when gas was $.99/gal, that was right about when I started driving, I think. Nat'l average: $475 Pizza guy: $2750 What could you buy for ($1248-$475) $773? A lot! I think I put about 10K a year on my car. Back when my older sister was playing college sports (Basketball and Volleyball) my parents would take our windstar 150 miles round trip twice a week. I think that thing would go 15-20K miles a year. The Elite is a garage queen and gets 1000 or less per year. The Sable (duratech ) is a garage queen wannabe and gets 5-8K a year.

In 11 months I put 39 000km on my Duratec Tour and in 10 months I put 51 000km on my Mystique.
