Americans are putting more miles on their vehicles, 50,000 or more, than on their previous vehicles. Many say they'll keep their vehicle until it dies. So says a survey by AutoMD, an online repair resource.

Nearly 50% of survey respondents indicate their current vehicle had over 100,000 miles. A combined 69% report they plan to drive their current vehicle for 150,000 or more miles.
