I had my brakes worked on 565,000 miles. The front brake pads had lasted 165,000 miles, the rear pads 235,000 miles, replaced the front pads/rotor, and the rear pads. I didn't have time to reinstall my wheel well skirts before driving off to work, so I have been driving this week without them and seeing the effect of their absence on my miileage. Going skirtless has dropped my mileage by 3mpg and without the drawing action of the rotating wheels in the inclosed front wheel wells, the radiator fan is having to come on about a third more often. I'll get the skirts back on this weekend.
