My husband drives at least 80 miles round trip to work 5 days a week. He's changing his oil every 5 weeks! Ouch He drives a 2000 Honda Accord and gets good gas mileage - he's at 187,000 so far.
And add the miles to run up to the nearest store (10 miles round trip) for milk, eggs, cigarettes, GAS!
Add going out shopping on the weekend another 80+ miles round trip ......
The results of living in the country in the middle of nothing!
Small town with expensive everything!
