Minimum is about 200 miles per month.

Max is about 400.

I drive about 900 a month.

Average driving is really about 12,000 mile per year. The most I ever drove in a year was 25,000, when I drove from San Franciso to Tahoe and back about 30 times, with a few other trips to Southern Cakifornia.

2,500 miles a month is 85 miles per day including weekends. That’s an hour and a half of freeway driving every day, day in and day out. And much more time if in town. If you are no t a truck or taxi driver, that’s cray cray.

My lease allows for 1k a month. I’m currently 6k over (36 month lease), after a semester of commuting from my hometown (~150 miles a day). But, typically somewhere in that 1k realm.

About 400 miles for me, about 5000 annually. I’m only working 3 days a week now and business has been very slow. Back when I was much busier and working 5 days a week, I’d log in about 250 miles per week, 10,000 miles per year.

Maybe 40. I don’t own a car but I occasionally hire one.

150 avg. miles around town. 500 avg. in months like December when I visit out of state.

I commute by bike or train, so my car is for errands and short trips.

I drove about 20 miles last month. That was one trip to get groceries and another trip just because I had the use of a vehicle. That makes three trips this year.

About 1200 most months.

50 miles each day one way to work + about 100 per weekend = 2400 per month.

I got a new car last April 2015 and it now has over 36k miles on it.

Approximately 1,700 miles per month. (2736 kilometres, give or take a meter.)

I don’t really pay attention. The car has many more miles on it than I have driven because my husband’s work truck was out of commission for a while. It’s generally used only to get me and Ian around town, and occasionally a bit further for family trips to the beach or whatever.

If you count taking public transportation, I’d estimate about 20 miles a day. This is about 600 miles a month, which is a lot considering I’m in a city. I get around.

YARNLADY's avatar

Between 100 and 500. I am usually a passenger rather than driver.

Darth_Algar's avatar

Generally less than 100.

Zero now.

I used to drive well over 50,000 km a year for work. With pleasure travel, I drove about 5,000 km a month. I don’t miss it at all. There were times I was so weirded out from driving that I thought I saw myself on the highway going the opposite direction.

Now I walk and talk transit (and am waiting for a neighbour to hook me up with a coaster bike).
