In June 2021, the Prius was hit while parked, and totaled. The final mileage was reported as 54588, from which I estimated the 2021 mileage. This still seems high, however, as we didn't manage to go on our recent trip to Boulder before the car was totaled and haven't been driving around town on a daily basis; certainly not an average of over 10 miles/day, but I don't have any more accurate information at hand.

As we are both work-from-home, we plan to be a 1-car family for awhile, as our lower fuel economy Subaru is still running well enough and of course the current supply chain issues have caused car prices to rise. The choice of what car to buy, in 2022 or 2023, will be interesting.
