How many miles do you drive in a day?

peanuthead

on average?

I do over 50 every day and sometimes even 100:eek:

I think thats a lot. Thats just getting to and from work/college and visiting a few friends.
edit: well its more than a few friends its between doing shopping, banks, etc that sort of thing. But still... 100 miles a day!! Is that even that bad!?

crosstownk

It depends. I do a lot of driving for work. Averages out at around 1,000km per week.

-Corkie-

I do roughly 300k per day.

martydunf

On average 20 miles a day. In and out from college.

Berty

Used to at least 300kms per day when I was working now I do around 20 kms.

746watts

All the people with pre-05 cars would still be used to miles I reckon.

What amazes me is weather forecasts and news reporting are still using miles.

Voodoomelon

6 miles in total to and from work. But I end up doing about 190 miles a week from all the driving I do at the weekends.

Yep - counting miles on the clock alright.

100 is a huge amount imo. I hate when I do that much - it's too much imo. I always worry that the mileage on my car will be sky high when I'm finished with it

sundodger5

between 200 & 500kms a day.

You mightn't be getting paid, but nothing stopping you from working!

Less than 20 miles a day now I'm working in Cork again, was only doing about 4 or 5 miles a day when I was in Galway but then I used to travel up and down at the weekends.

Kimbot

Since I filled up with petrol on Sunday I have covered around about 1,000 Miles.

Eoin

About 40miles / 65kms a day. Very handy commute - all national road and motorway driving.

milly4ever

200 miles a day

CharlieCroker

On average (dividing my weekly driving) I do roughly 100km to 120km a day (7-800km per week). Never realised it was that much actually. Think my next car may need to be a diesel!!!!

challengemaster

probably 1k+ per week.

EPM

A big fat zero at the mo:D

Cars been parked up the last four months bar a weekend or two when I used it. Clock says 1053km since start of Jan

76 miles a day round trip to the office, then depends on what needs doing at work.

Put €30 in near work on Tuesday morning and my fuel light will probably come on before I hit the motorway on the way home tonight.

Bit of a shock after not driving my car for about 3 weeks before Tuesday. Most fuel effecient way of driving is to use somebody else's car and fuel

Same distance for me, but sometimes I work from home.. to save money.

barryfitz

3.7 miles per day. Beat that for laziness, Bicycle ordered though

About 60 clicks each way for me, and 10 more for my Mrs. A tank and a bit of diesel every week...

Zubeneschamali

250km per day Mon-Fri.

no1beemerfan

I'm doing 105 miles a day for the last 12 years. Some days can be a bit more and all that is just to get to and from work!

Getting sick of it lately tbh but nothing I can do.

On another note I serviced a car for a collegue 3 yrs ago and mentioned it to her recently did she service it since and she said no she hadn't done the milage I'd indicated so went out to look at the car and she less than 1,000 miles done in 3 yrs!!! (She hates driving she said! :eek:)

82 miles in total commute each day to work so 410 miles per week excluding the weekend trips.

I love driving though and wouldn't change a thing.
Also helps that I have a nice comfy Accord with a nice bit of grunt (2.2L).

I can walk to work at the moment so dont drive most days monday to thursday. I head home a good few weekends so thats 270 miles return and I suppose about another 50 miles or so driving around at home.

If I dont head home then maybe only 10 or 15 miles at the weekend unless I head off somewhere else.

Up until the last year I suppose I would have done at least 30 miles a day.

DYLF

50miles a day... less at wekends. 1 tank (€60) lasts me 2 weeks:D

bladespin

60 (or so) miles per day, about 96km if my metric conversion holds up

Think it's a bit high but what can you do? That's my work commute and weekends constist of driving all over the palce to visit parents, shopping etc.

A tank (around 55l) lasts nearly 2 weeks on the Alfa Cannot tell you how inpressed I was with that.

Cabaal

112km a day, just to and from work is all
Driving a Getz and I just about get one week out of a full tank

pyramuid man

I drive 110 miles most days I am working. Id say at least once a week I add another 100 miles atleast.

ToxicPaddy

15kms per day Mon - Fri and weekends can vary from 50kms in total to 300kms.. At €90 to fill the car, I'm glad I don't have far to commute at the moment.. :rolleyes:
