[quote=Anonymous]Hi again. No I don’t have them write down their mileage, but I encourage them to do so for themselves in the first weeks. I give them a list of favorite places with app. mileage so they can get a sense of what 100 miles might mean (gym, mall, movies, etc.). I start with the expectation that I trust AP will stay within our mileage guidelines. Since I am the one filling up the tank, I am a good judge of whether or not there is over usage. When it happens, it is discussed right away.

I completely agree with you, it’s not just about the cost of gas and maintenance. We intend to keep our cars for at least 8yrs. We do our best to conserve in everything we do. We use public transportation to go to work, we carpool the kids, use a small energy-efficient car, and plan errands to prevent any unnecessary trips. We offer our car to our APs, but expect they will use it with respect and common sense, just like we do.

BTW- The cost of owning a car in the US is app. $700 per month. I don’t think putting limitations or asking AP to contribute is unreasonable.[/quote]
