Man, I feel your pain. I'm at 12,100 just before the 8-month mark (13 days to go!). I feel I've put WAY to much mileage on my car, but I can't argue with how much I've enjoyed every minute behind the wheel.

thats not bad, i'm at pace for like 27,000 miles per year, hehe but highly unlikely. I'm at 9000 something it's almost been four months since i got the car.

I'm at 10,300 miles and I've only had my Civic for 10 or 11 weeks now. I work in Huntsville, TX (about 80 miles north of Houston), and I'm constantly driving back and forth between Huntsville, Houston, Austin, and Dallas.

Im at 14,000 KM's right now, I am not sure what the conversion is to miles though. But I thought it was quite a bit for me.

I think I have all of you beat. I bought my EX on Aug. 7. It now has 12k mi. on it!!
That's only in 3.5 mos! I average 4k/mo. My last Civic was a '97 HB. I sold it last August with 140k mi. on it. It was sold 20hrs after I advertised it on only 2 Honda forums. The guy drove 100mi. to be the first one at my house to buy the car. I found out hours later, when more e-mail started coming in with higher offers than what I had asked, that g6 black HBs were kind of rare and hard to find. Oh well.. I lost out on $1,000, because that's how much higher the bids were than my asking price.

I'm almost at 4700, and my 3 month aniversary is today. So that's an average of 1566 miles per month. It's too bad I live 20 miles away from work, that's 40 miles per day!!!

It's a honda! its supposed to have tons of mileage! I wouldn't worry about it if I were you...

I'm driving 2hrs/day, 5 days/week minimum... 6500kms in 2 months... thats not extreme but that isnt exactly low either. I'm just not worried about it, tho - thats why I bought a honda.
