I checked gas prices in Germany, which I'm fairly sure are higher than in the US, around €1.8 per liter. That makes it about 270l of gasoline.
With the average fuel efficiency in Europe, I'd say the average car here uses about 8-9l in a mixed driving regime (town/city + highway). So that would mean about 3000-3300km per month, 36000-40000km per year.
That's a TON of driving :-O
Edit I:
Though I imagine in the US we're a lot more likely for the fuel efficiency to be closer to 15l/100km (F150 or something), so those distance numbers go down by 60% or so :-)
Edit II:
Oh, I forgot the cost of gas in the US, so nevermind. Gasoline is about 60% cheaper in the US so at the end of the day... the distance numbers do end up closer to 3000km per month.
