* Maintenance: Regular maintenance significantly impacts longevity and fuel efficiency.
* Driving habits: Aggressive driving, frequent short trips, and heavy loads reduce mileage.
* Vehicle condition: A well-maintained car will generally have better mileage than one that's been neglected.
* Location: Driving conditions (city vs. highway, hilly terrain) affect fuel economy.
While you can't find a precise average, you can find some estimates:
* Online resources: Websites like Kelley Blue Book (KBB) or Edmunds may provide average mileage ranges based on reported data from users, but these are still broad estimations and not a precise average. These usually focus on the *range* rather than a single number.
Expect to see a wide range, likely somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 miles for a 2000 Cavalier that's still running, but that's a very broad estimation. A car meticulously maintained could be higher, while one neglected could be considerably lower.
