My Car’s Anniversary

Today my Subaru Forester turned 10.

Some interesting numbers:

Total Miles: 58837

Miles Driven this past year: 4257  – I had challenged myself to stay under 5000 miles for the year!

Gallons of gas this year: 226.263

Dollars spent on fuel this year: $508.43

Average MPG this year: 18.81  – not great.  At 30 MPG I would have used about 86 less gallons.  For this amount of miles though, not budget breaking.  As most of my trips are short it would be hard to average 30 MPG with most cars.  On the highway over any distance this car gets close to 29 MPG depending on specific conditions.

Avg Cost/Gallon this year: $2.25  (this is lower than average pump prices due to using our grocery cents off gasoline bonus program when we can).

Fuel Cost/Mile this year:  $ 0.119
