What can one expect in the way of life expectancy of fly lines. I
know that if you use them a lot or abuse them a lot (leaving them in a
hot vehicle all summer or dragging them over concrete will shorten
their useful life).

Gene I have had Double Taper Cortland 333 and 444 fly lines for over 6
years. When one end wears out turn it around. Another thing "not to do" is
step on it.

The suggestion to "turn (the line) around" only works for Level or
double tapper lines, right?
