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.

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.

60K miles so far this year.... on my frequent flyer plan that is. 25K on the M5 last year from driving.. but only 2000 miles on the R6 and about 500 miles on the kestrel airfoil pro.
