Probably a handful of trips >200 miles in the last 20 years. I suspect that's more the rule than the exception, even here in California.
I agree. With kids in school in Austin and College Station, we find ourselves driving the roughly 200 mile each way trips about 8 to 10 times a year. Otherwise, we wouldn't do it more than 1 or 2 times per year.
