I'd consider this especially relevant if you consider third car driving days to be penalty box days.

You can also wait until 6 months out from lease return to buy the miles, giving you the opportunity to optimize the purchase.
Along these lines. I wonder if you could get your dealer to buy out your lease (which appears to be something they do to get you in another car per some posts on here), swap to a 20k mile lease, then only be on the hook for an additional $1,600/year.
