Daily Mileage?

On a typical week day, how many miles do you put on your car on average?

I'm averaging right about 30 per day right now.

6.5 miles from the office, so about 13 a day (T-F). Work from home on Monday.

Work from home, try to go to the gym every day which is about 5-6 miles away... so figure 10-12 miles a day if I get to the gym. Otherwise it's 0.

45-50 mile round-trip commute on the days I go into the office (as opposed to working from home or some other site).

My yearly average is about 17 miles a day, but that's misleading, more then 85% of my driving is done on weekends. I don't drive much these days, kind of a blessing and a curse all at the same time.

It's 22 miles one way to school everyday. So I do about 220 miles just going to school and then another 70 or so on the weekends.

No kidding. I'm pretty sure he has everyone beat. I thought my friend who drives 25-30k a year drove a lot until I met Jon.

less than 10 to school, so less than 20 miles per day usually.
in the summer i did about 175 miles per day commute to work for about a month before i went back to school, with no working stereo in the cl, but that was a good way to relax IMO

*Fast times, and is everyone doing highway driving or local/city driving? I would imagine 50miles in the city roundtrip even could be a lot of wear on you're car

Depending on work, and what else is going on, I'd say 30-50 is a good guess.

Usually 30-50. No longer commuting to the east bay daily so that saves quite a bit.

About 40 miles a day. 20 miles each way to work, don't do too much driving other than that during the week unless i go somewhere a mile or two away.

Was averaging about 60miles per day until November to and from work. Now it's about 22 after moving closer to work....As far as other various driving, it all depends on the day.

It's something over 20 miles one way to work, then driving to lunch or whatever, but my wife and I work at the same place so we often drive together.
