Something I really never looked too closely at until recently is mileage.
Apparently between my wife and I we put 52,000 miles on our two vehicles, Camry and Silverado since we purchased them.
I did the math, it looks like our gas bill is around .07cents/mile and if you add in insurance, registration, maintenance costs like oil, tires, rotation, wiper blades etc...it about doubles to .15cents/mile.
We put 2200+ miles on the Camry some months because she drives for work, I average about 1000miles/month on the truck.
We put a total of 39.500 miles on our vehicles in 2015. That seems like a lot when I type it out. That included a road trip down south that racked up a few thousand miles as well.
Hopefully we can reduce this in 2016 a bit as I know every mile we don't drive saves us .15c now. DH does get to claim mileage at .55c/mile when working so that certainly helps.
