I easily put about 50 miles a day, during the week, if I only go to work then school and then back home.

On weekends, I usually put about 100 miles a day, if I go out.

I would say about a good 400 miles a week.

It all depends if I go out or not. I am usually the one driving. A typical week is about 200-250 miles but if I go out then 350+ miles.

Glad to hear that I'm not the only way putting on all those miles. Currently, I put on about 350 miles during the week, and depending on how active I am on the weekend, another 50-100 miles. Usually, after driving all week to work, I prefer to be a passenger in someone else's car on the weekend, and give the TL a rest

Depends on where my client's located at but I usually put in anywhere from 200 to 500 miles. Lately I have been putting in approx 500 miles a week. (This is with stock tires as opposed to my 18's that would put in more miles.)

About 250 a week averaged over 2 1/2 years. This should keep me below 15k/year for my smart loan (balloon)

Cheers!
