milage

Odometer's running count

Milage is a less common spelling of mileage—the distance traveled measured in miles, or the rate of fuel consumption: What kind of milage does your car get?

Figuratively, mileage refers to usefulness or advantage gained from something: He got a lot of milage out of that story.

The spelling with one 'e' is considered nonstandard by most style guides.
