I do about 30,000km a year, I think with the Pintara I did 54000km in 22 months (between getting my licence back and getting rid of the car). Only had the EF a couple of months, and has only been registered 6-7 weeks, and put about 4500km on it...

25k per year, I like to go on a road trip every year. Last year was adelaide to darwin, and back! not sure about this year. I'd ask for suggestions, but that will ruin your thread.
