If you’re not a paid driver or being reimbursed by your job because they make you drive that much chances are you can do something to reduce the number of miles you drive a year. Move closer to your job, get a job closer to your home etc. 60k is 1153 miles a week, every week, all year. **That’s 164.x miles a day 365 days a year.** Do you live in your car? Regardless, situations like yours do not apply to 99.9% of the population --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dont-buy-a-new-car-to-get-better-gas-mileage/41637)._
