This last set of EBC organic pads I got bearly 5000 miles out of them, a paper thin pad is left.
My riding style is about 50/50 city and highway.
I usually downshift to use engine braking and plan stops to save brakes.
There are definitely not dragging.
I use the front brake twice as much as the rear, it still has about 25% pad left. The linked front with the rear has better than 25% left.
I've never in 25k miles replaced the fronts.

How many miles do you all get out of the EBC organics?

I use EBC organic pads on my 1500 and usually get around 15,000-20,000 miles out of them. They pretty much last about as long as the tires. If you find one pad on a caliper much thinner than the other that's an indication of a frozen caliper which will shorten the pad life and can lead to brake lock up.
