Miles would probably be misleading. If there's anything to it at all, it would probably be "heat cycle" related. Meaning, if I'm going on a nice leisurely "country cruise" with my all aluminum FE, there's likely no more additional wear to the engine from driving 500 miles than there is for only driving 100.
