Quote:And part of the financial drain will be the increased wear and tear in the car. Not just the increased ratio of oil changes, or burning through a tank of gas in two days, but the general increased load on things normally changed out at 30,000-100,000 miles. Yes, highway travel is by and far easier on the car than stop and go... but it still adds up rapidly.I hadn't even considered that. Our car already has 212,000 miles on it. Yes, 212K. (It's a Saturn, though, and had a complete engine replacement in October 2010 (as folks might recall), so it's probably good for at least another 100K -- but still, no need to speed that up.)
