I have a 2001 Grand Cherokee Laredo with about 120k miles on it and a 2002 Civic with about 112k miles on it.

I’ve been pretty diligent (I think) about regularly servicing them and maintaining the parts as needed.

I drive them relatively carefully (I think) and the Jeep has done some trailer towing, although not more than 6k miles total.

How much longer do you think they might last me?

There is no reason why a properly maintained vehicle shouldn’t get a few hundred thousand miles or more before it loses cost effectiveness. (costs more to maintain than it is worth.) I have 2 cars at home with more than 200,000 miles that work like new and a pick up with about 300,000 miles on its diesel that works the same. The pick up gets worked hard with heavy loads and trailer towing. All get normal maintenance and constant watchfulness for and elimination of rust. (Rust is actually the largest cause for vehicles becoming unusable. Either through bodies/frames becoming unsafe, or causing mechanical parts to fail.) All have needed minor repairs. (especially to electrical systems, which are impacted the most by the extreme temps that happen inside a vehicle when parked and road vibrations while in use.) None costs more per year to keep in perfect condition than it would cost in monthly payments to replace it. (My rule of thumb for cost efficiency of a motor vehicle.) I have no problem jumping into any of my vehicles for a long trip.

I’ve been training for about a week now, and I’ve managed to run two miles without stopping in between 14 and 15 minutes. I’ve been running for about a week straight, I’ve started with just running a mile for three days and then I’ve managed to run two miles for four days.

What advises or tips can you give me to improve my distance, time and endurance?

I can run 5 miles straight without stopping but im a distance runner.
I just always tell myself that it will pay off in the end to keep pushing myself to go farther.
I run on my toes which my coach gets mad about but it helps me.
To improve your time you have to practice which your doing so just keep going.
Good luckk

The wife of an engineering professor filled up her car’s gas tank, reset the fuel economy calculator to zero, and then drove the hybrid electric car 82 miles. During her trips, she obtained 37.2 miles per gallon performance out of the car. The professor drove the car an additional 8 miles, averaging 51 miles per gallon during his trips. What would be the overall miles per gallon their car would report for the total driving done since they reset the fuel economy calculator?

They went 82 + 8 miles = 90 miles
They used 82/37.2 + 8/51 gallons = 2.361 gallons

90 miles / 2.361 gallons = 38.1 mpg

I currently have 30000 miles on my card. Now when I redeem the miles is it mile for mile? Does my 30000 point translate to 30000 miles of traveling I can do for free? If not how does this program really work?

No. It means that you have you obtain what you would receive for traveling 30,000 miles in the frequent flier program. Typically, the least amount of miles that you need to use to fly for free is 25,000. With 30,000 miles, you can get one, and only one, round trip flight, and only on some flights, not all of them, and only on some days, not all of them.

When trying to buy a used-car around $6,000 and under, do miles really mean that much? Shouldn’t condition of the vehicle, how well it runs, and what type of vehicle it is matter more? Do you consider 100,000 miles too high? For example: Would you rather have a 130,000 mile Nissan Maxima that is really nice, runs and drives great? Or a 70,000 mile Grand Am that is a little rough around the edges? Same price.

rather have the car with 70,000 miles . things start breaking down and are no longer under any warranty after 100,000 miles, however Nissan Maxima’s are pretty decent I had one and it was over hundred thousand miles and still reliable
