30k miles per year is just a barely high average in some of the larger metros. About ten years ago I came across a news article in Dallas on this phenomenon, that 3-yr old vehicles at 90k were now a common trade-in point. My ex was running these kind of miles in her job in that city at that time (but in something more fuel efficient). Realtors, sales personnel, etc are all apt to see high mileage on personal vehicles. But don't forget the IRS business miles deduction for this kind of use, currently around 55-cpm as I recall.
Subsidies around petroleum are deep, to say the least, whether direct or indirect.
