The underlying theme of most of the discussion this forum seems to be how to keep an engine going as long as possible. This brings up a question. What is the average lifespan (in miless) of a gasoline powered passenger vehicle (I'll leave diesels out of it for now, because that number would get skewed by over the road trucks).
Now, obviously, not all cars die from oil, or even engine related problems (I would think collisions would be the number one cause of death). But even so, it would be interesting to know this number.
And the information must be out there. The various state DMVs probably collect it when the title transfers to a scrapper. Anyone have any idea what it is?
