2025 Car Usage

 



 

 

The two photos above capture my 2025 car usage, which I'll only add a few comments:

* Philly is one of only a few US cities where a car is not absolutely essential, so you'll notice that even with our busy family life we only average about 2 trips and 7 legs a week 

* Driving somewhere and returning home would mean a ratio of 2 legs per trip, whereas my Philly ratio is closer to 3.5, demonstrating my intentionality in bundling trips (which saves gas as well as wear and tear on my car)

* Conversely, California and Florida, even in its biggest cities, require constant driving; in 2025, I logged 127 legs despite only being there a combined 24 days

Like Asher, the family car turned 10 this year and now has about 82,000 miles on it. Hopefully many more!
