Etymology

The term 'millage' is derived from the word 'mile,' which has its origins from the Old English word 'mฤซla,' which referred to a measure of distance. The concept of measuring distance traveled has been inherent in human civilization since the advent of transportation. As internal combustion engines became widespread in the early 20th century, the need for an efficient measure of how far a vehicle could travel on a set amount of fuel became critical. 'Millage' began to be commonly used in the automotive industry to convey this information to consumers. Over the years, the spelling and usage of 'millage' have been influenced by the more common term 'mileage,' but it is essential to distinguish that 'millage' can sometimes refer to the per-mile cost attributed to taxes or utility bills, thus reinforcing its importance in automotive, financial, and real estate contexts.
