Ford Made “Million Mile Odometer” Just for New York State
The average American drives around 13,500 miles annually, though the distance we travel tapers off considerably as we age. In our lifetimes, most of us won’t accumulate 1 million miles, combined, across however many cars we own. That fact may have been lost on Ford in the early 1990s, when the automaker took a rather unusual approach to phase out five-digit odometers in favor of the six-digit layout that is compulsory today. Thus was born the “Million Mile Odometer.”
