How many miles do you a drive a year?

I've only got my TL for 1 year almost, and I've put 13000 Miles on it already. And I also have a Rav4 to drive around and an Altima which I use for a delivery job I do weekly. I've calculated I drove a little over 26000 Miles last year. I'm only in college and I live on campus, I think i seriously drive too much. I met noone yet drives more than I do among all my friends.

Haha. I got that same feeling. I do a solid 25k a year. When I was 17, i'm pretty sure I was the only 17 year old in the history of the universe to drive 20k in a year. I'd drive for absolutely no reason but to drive. Hmm, i'm bored, let me drive to west virginia, turn around, and come back. Ahh, those were the days...

Average 20,000 miles per year with carpooling for the last 3 years. Expect to jump up to near 30,000 miles per year this year.

You guys got some hefty numbers.

When I was 17 I did 24k per year. Now I do about 27k per year. Got the TL last March, had 33414 miles. Today, it has 55,300.

None of us can touch Kris, though.

well, just the usual 25K last year like everybody else.
However, I probably slow down because that's too much.

no competition w/ Kris. :surrender

I've had it for just about 3 years now and there's just under 59k miles on the odo. So it's 20k/year, more or less.

Embarrased to even say it... I only put about 3,000 miles a year on my TL-S...

I have a 2003, and it has less than 12K on the clock...

I used to put over 20K/year on my previous car, but since moving closer to work...and also doing a lot of work from home... I haven't really had the chance to drive much...

I live in Providence and I commute to Boston everyday. (about 120 round trip) Plus with any other driving that I do...about 40000+ per year. The most I ever did in one year was 52000+ That is why my last car had 203000 miles on it when I traded it in!

Had my TL for almost 6 years and it's at 155k, so that's just under 25k per year?

100k miles a year is about 20 coast-to-coast round trips. Or 400 miles a day if you drive five days a week. boy that's a lot of driving. I'm curious too what Kris does to log that kind of milage.

I wonder why leases then are usually written with 15k per year if ieveryone including me is closer to 20-22k per year? How are y'all compensating for this in your leases? Hopefully paying up fron for the extra mileage...

It's like 15cent per mile over, so if you go over 10k miles it's like $1500. I think it's not that much if you lease a $35000 vehicle over 3 years.
