2024 Car Usage

This is the 16th year I have tracked car usage, so I think it's safe to say this has become a habit. As has the nerdy tracking and graphing of it in Microsoft Excel. (You can check out 2023 here, 2022 here, 2021 here, 2020 here, 2019 here, 2018 here, 2017 here, 2016 here, 2015 here, 2014 here, 2013 here, 2012 here, 2011 here, 2010 here, and 2009 here.)

As before, the Philly totals represent, in order, number of trips, number of legs represented in those trips (i.e. going to and from my in-laws, making one stop to get gas, counts as three legs), and number of legs in which I was driven (rather than driving).
 
The other city totals represent, in order, number of times I was in that location, number of days I was in that location, number of trips, number of legs represented in those trips, and number of legs in which I was driven.

So my Philly total is 126 trips involving 418 legs, plus another 5 legs in which I was driven. So that works out to about 10.5 car trips and 35 legs a month. Then counting non-Philly trips it's closer to 15 car trips and 53 legs a month.

The car just crossed 75,000 miles and it turns 10 in April (just like Asher!). We're lucky to be able to afford a car, luckier still that we can have full lives without depending on a car. Urban living is good living!
