RENEWING MY CAR INSURANCE

[supercheesegirl]

This post is for posterity, in case my car insurance company asks me again next year how many miles the car's been driven in the past year, without telling me what my odometer reading was last year. (So how am I supposed to figure it out, without knowing what the reading was when I told it to you last year?)

My current odometer reading, as of Friday October 8, 2004, is 54,595.

[edit]

Okay, I'm trying to figure out my total mileage for the past year. I did this by counting up how many major trips I've taken and mapquested the distance. From here to my parents' house is 316 miles, and I was there and back twice for a total of 1264 miles. From here to Sarah B's in CT is 85 miles and I've done that three times, total 510 miles. Here to Providence, 55 miles, twice, 220 miles total; here to NH, 59 miles, twice, 240 total. Here to Baltimore, 404 miles, and we drove there and back once for Mel & Jamie's wedding, total 808 miles. Grand total is over 3000 miles in the past year, and that's just road trip miles. I haven't driven much besides for road trips: to Target, to the grocery store or Costco, to a few job interviews last fall, to Kris's, to Farbs's. Maybe 4000 total? I remember the car hitting 50,000 miles but I can't remember when that was. Sigh.

It's usually way more than you expect. Sometimes a receipt from any service or registrations you've done in the past will give you an odometer reading from then and you can get an idea of how much you drive.
