I drive so little...

I actually pay more for insurance per mile than I do for gas, by a huge margin.

ME:

$840/year / 3500 mi/year = $0.24/mi
$0.24/mi * 22 mi/gal = $5.28/gal
(based on my vehicle's cumulative 22 mpg)

If I drove 10,000 mi/year:

$840/year / 10,000 mi/year = $0.084/mi
$0.084/mi * 22 mi/gal = $1.85/gal

That is just sad.  Or crazy. I dunno...I'm feeling shocked right now.  My insurer (State Farm) eliminated lower mileage rate levels, so I'm stuck paying $840/year.  I need to send an email to my insurer and have him explain why I should stay with them, huh?
