69k miles.... anxiety

With simple calculation, your only at about 6.9k miles a year.. which... is... very ... low. Don't be so worried. If your worried about the mileage to the point that it affects your decisions to drive it, sell it and get something with higher mileage.

For example: If you have an '03 with 70,000 miles, the "value" of your car dropped by about 29 cents a mile since it was new. If you had 150,000 miles on it instead, the additional miles would only depreciate the car by 4.6 cents per mile (using trade-in values at Kelly Blue Book).
Age depreciates a car much more than miles. The alternative would be to sell the car, and buy something newer that will depreciate at an even faster rate.
I have 144,000 miles on my '03 and it runs just as good as when it was new.
