When we bought the CTBNL in August 2016 it had a little over 46,000 miles on the clock. Yesterday, June 2022, it hit the eighty-one thousand mile mark.
Because every time the Miata hits a comma and three zeroes mark I post about it and I add the tag “Miata Mileage” to it, so I decided to track down all those posts, get the dates it happened and create the nifty chart you see above.
I think I could have made it fancier in Microsoft Office, but all I have to use now is the free office program, LibreOffice, and I can’t figure out if it possible to get something nicer looking.
We are fast approaching 6 years of ownership and in the first 3 years we drove it almost 29,000 miles. Since then, in 5 years and 10 months the CTBNL has only added another 6,000 miles. There are a couple factors involved in this decrease of Miata mileage. First is that in the those beginning three years we were participating in those Moss Motoring Challenges, which caused us to drive around a lot locally and to take some long road trips. Secondly, we moved to Oregon where our convertible driving weather is in much shorter supply than it was in South Carolina.
