Does anyone else drive a TON of miles?
 
I just did the math and I realized I drive approximately 600 miles per week, minimum.. I hit 87,500 miles today and I started thinking. Keep in mind this is on a 2003 330xi. When I got the car last February, it had about 48,500 on it. So that means since then I've driven 39,000 miles in a little over a year. :wow:

Got me beat, I'm good for 450 a week or so.

That's a lot of miles, good thing it's mostly highway. Plan on summer traffic on slowing you down on I-95 soon.

If you still find yourself going to Wells a lot, you might want to get a commuter pass from the Maine Turnpike Authority on your EZPass. You can go unlimited between the York Toll and Wells for $42.50 per quarter (3 months). This beats the $1.75 each way you pay now. That should get you a little extra gas money.

Sweet thats a good idea! Thanks! I go through the York tolls about 4 times a week so it'd save me a lot.

Can I put a Maine commuter plan on a New Hampshire-registered EZPass though? Or do I have to get a Maine one?

I put on 2,200 kilometers last week. Pretty typical week for me. I've decided I'm going to start renting a car for work rather than continue to put that kind of mileage on my own.
