I agree. From April 2008 to Feb 2010 22 months and 19,000 miles = 864 mile/month.

someone we know has close to 15,000 miles on his YARIS automatic 3 door that he purchased in OCTOBER . He got the YARIS thanks to a little persuasion from us .

I bought mine 2 days ago, and I put over 300 miles on it already, so that means at this rate of 54,000 a year, but I will probably average about 2,500 a month

No, well, maybe. When I lost my job I changed the insurance miles driven since I was traveling out of the State every day. So State Farm put me down for "pleasure use vehicle". Well it seems pleasure use is < 4kmi / year. They just sent me a questioneer and asked what the ODO reading was on my car currently. They must of had the ODO from last year so the figued out I am driving 12K year. When working I had a 70 mile daily round trip commute and put 20K+ on a year. Oh well its a hundered bucks more a year than pleasure use.

the only other way they could have found out is if he has that tracker thingy(progressive?) that tracks driving habits, it would track mileage too.

Anyway i seriously doubt I'll win 2007, and have 71100, so 23700 a year.

Here's another possible source of odometer readings. I know in PA when you re-register your car (which is yearly you have to update that info), they ask your odometer reading (they won't allow it without that). This is also often linked with your driver's license (particularly if you are the only listed owner). Add to the fact that you have to prove registration on the vehicle to have insurance (at least I always had to), the insurance company has all the info they need to access your odometer reading on a yearly basis.
