Amazing right Levin?  When I was living in Houston, Tx, I ALWAYS drove MINIMUM 30,000 miles/year as long as I could find the gasoline.  The OPEC 1976 crisis was the only thing that ever slowed that down. Couldn't get it for several days at a time and 4-5 hour wait in line.  If I could fill the tank, I was movin' that Jeep 4WD Pickup and pulling a boat 175 miles 1-way each weekend to the fishin' hole.  Most expensive fish I ever caught.  I think they came in at about $40/lb when I caught fish.  Sometimes that fish price hit infinity.  Now, I live within 1km of the ocean, drive around 12,000 Kilometers each year.  Price of gas got higher, price of fish went down, but now I can work and fish every day.  No complaints here.
