It's been very depressing lately... I used to only drive on the highway, but since I started working, I only drive on the streets. My one way commute is 10 miles with 20 (I counted!) traffic lights - it's horrible. I do this every time I fill up too!

Its an important factor in the overall health of your engine ... If you're mileage drops off unexpectedly it could be a sign of something wrong in the engine or fuel systems. Keeping track of mileage is nice if there are other "symptoms" of trouble in your car .. a mechanic can use it as a clue in diagnosing any problems .. and catching problems when small and inexpensive to fix is a lot more frugal than waiting until something catastrophic happens!

My 99 escort gets a bit over 30mpg; the 91 civic I had till it's recent retirement got an average of 35 (28-45mpg, depending on weather/driving habits). I like seeing how good I can get the mileage.
