Default drive time

I recently moved about five blocks from my work so now I walk to work. Because of this my A3 doesn't get driven very much. Maybe once or twice a week on the weekends. Is there a minimun my car should be driven per week?

Nah, keeping the miles down will be good for resale if you can ever part with the car and keeps your gas and maintenance bills down. I would just start it up and go for a fun drive every once in a while so the battery doesn't run down and you get the fluids moving. Gas can go bad if it sits for too long, but that takes a decent amount of time. We have one car that barely gets driven and end up keeping a charger plugged in between the car's power adapter and the wall outlet so it the battery remains charged. Have some fun!

Count your blessings! You now have a beautiful Audi that will last nearly forever, your maintenance bills are reduced, and you're getting fitter because you're not just seated in a car. Make sure your insurance company knows about this situation because you're probably eligible for significant discounts since the mileage is so low on an annual basis.

Yeah, I make sure I drive at least once a week and sometimes that drive is at 2am when I can open it up on an empty freeway. And it's great that I have to fill up the tank like once every two weeks, esp with gas prices being so ridiculous. And Blue...you better believe my insurance knows about this. They dropped my premium a ton! Thanks guys!!!!
