# Miles Per Year
🚗💨 Make used-car searching easier by adding a "miles per year" field to listings
## Works with
- AutoTrader.com
- Cars.com
## Details
### Age
The age of a car is determined by finding the difference between the model year of the vehicle and the approximate current model year: the current year plus one (_e.g._ `currentModelYear = 2019 + 1`). This isn't bulletproof, but I think it's the [Occam's Razor](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor) solution.
### Rating
In the United State, cars are driven on average 13,500 miles per year ([US DOT FHWA, Mar. 2018](https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/onh00/bar8.htm)). Based on that figure, listings are given one of three possible ratings:
Rating | Color | Calculation
---|---|---
Low | Green | `< average - 2000`
Average | Orange | `average +- 2000`
High | Red | `> average + 2000`
