around the world twice

I've just gone through the 50,000 mile barrier in my car. Its actually on around 52,000 now and the car is 29 months old. Thats 1,793 miles per month.

With an average of 600 miles and 14 driving hours between refills, that makes my average speed 43mph at 13.4 kilometres(8.3m) per litre or 37.9 miles per gallon (thats 31.6m per smaller US gallon)

I calculate that I've filled it 87 times averaging £62 ($108) per refill which totals £5,373 and spent 1,213 hours behind the wheel or 51 days of 24 hours (say 20 full days per year, or 1.5 days per month). Buying the same amount of fuel in the USA would cost around half, in US dollars.

The distance I've driven in that time is around the equivalent of twice around the earth at the equator and the equivalent of driving 58.9 miles every day that I've had the car.
