I keep my car key seperate to the house keys. A habit I developed years ago, just don't like a lot of keys dangling down from the dash
Main set has:
Back door key
Front door key
Rear patio key
Outside padlock
Fiatforum key thingy
Mini torch
Tesco Clubcard
Nectar Card
Set of random case keys

My car key is seperate, just by itself. And my house key is the same apart from having a plastic keyring on, just so it's harder to lose.
Don't see the point in having a million keys attached to the car keys, my parents do it and it annoys me to a massive extent when I'm driving and have keys/teddybear keyrings bouncing off my knee.

Same as Stu and Dlight, car key separate, house keys have a carabiner and a Guinness keyring, that's it tbh.
Car key seperate with 1 keyring on it, House key on a las vegas keyring thing along with garage key, locker key and toolbox key

5 car keys!
-Ignition
-door locks
-glovebox lock (useless as the bit that rotates to lock it has somehow fallen off :bang
-Petrol Cap
-removable steering lock key, for parking in dodgy areas.
and house key and MG logo keyring.
Fortunately most of the keys are quite small so take up about the same space as when it was just my Tipo key, remote for alarm/locking, house key and my fiat keyring i bought in italy.

Car key and house key on one keyring.
Cuff key, PAC key to get into the station, locker key and mouth guard for mouth to mouth on another.
Both together on a carabiner so I can clip my police stuff to my belt.

I was told that many, many years ago but that was when keys seemed to be softer metal so the key would wear.
Then keys seemed to improve & the barrels then started wearing. (and you had a situation where older keys were used to gain access to older cars (and in the case of Fords, that meant cars of only a couple of years - one of the guys at work owned a 2 y/o granada, top of the range, loads of bells and whistles for the time. He locked his keys in the ignition. I used the door key from our 3 y/o transit to open his drivers door. He spent money installing deadlocks after that))
Either way, it cannot be good to have all that weight swinging around uncontrollably off the end of the ignition key.
And, of course, although the collection might not in itself weigh much, when you use laws of levers, that weight is swinging around a point which is a good inch away from the point at which the ignition key is fixed in the barrel - so multiplying the weight.
Of course, the act of inserting / removing the ignition key must also cause wear and tear.
My bunch of keys consists of house, locker, padlocks, clubcard etc but the car key is not on the split ring, it is on a quick release so it can be used on its own.
