How many miles do you do a week on average

[S600VXR]

Just seeing how many miles people actually use their cars for, keep thinking about selling the Corsa and using the Ro but I do over 600 miles a week and it would cost alot more than my current two car setup.

[ads_green]

about 10k-12k a year so about 200ish on average.

Wouldn't mind but work from home so no commuting!

[VXR_Daz]

I work in the centre of London so no point trying to drive in.

I still manager 150-200 miles a week though

[MadMaxHSV]

Comes out when its sunny for pleasure only
So hardly any miles at all in the UK , keep a second car for company miles, as this year I clocked 27k in 6 months....

I had the idea of limiting my use to 10,000km P/A which is about half average apparently. Seem to be doing a bit more than that though, even though I have a very local business which I use my van for.

[ads_green]

yeah - mine is limited to 9k and am at 8.3k with 2 months to go before renewal so may have to update it!

Bought it new April 07 currently 31'000 on the clock......!

Luxury of a fuel card from work.

25K miles per year, about 300 per week. That's just one hour each way to/from work.

Whoops I think I misled you there, I wsa trying to keep the milage down to try and protect my "investment". I don't know if we can get limited milage insurance here? but mine is fully comp, $50,000 agreed value, any licenced driver, no milage restriction, costs about $900 P/A (just under £500)

O/T I've just started giving my 16YO daughter driving lessons, using the ex's Falcon XR6 (auto) to start with, but will have to use the Monaro as it is the only manual in the family (except my Vito)

[jamiep]

Done 5000 miles in the Monaro in the last 6 months, i do about the same miles in the van.

Nice maths!

[anonymous-user]

16,000 a year for me. Weekly number average is around 300 I guess.

[stigmundfreud]

having just got a job the other side of town I think I might sell the jag and either ride the bike to work and get healthy or get teh bus.

The ro is just too much of a good thing - problem is so is the x-type so with 2 very capable 4 seat cars its hard to work out which one to take on long trips to France. Selling the jag will be easier than the Ro, will save me 800 quid (tax + insurance) so its now looking tempting (just need to guage the new commute via my healthy option...)

[Well_Fans]

5k a year in to monaro, 12k in the astra - but thats mostly sitting still in queues on the M8 for commuting so completely pointless taking the monaro to watch the fuel gauge drop.

[Bonnie and Clyde]

I use the Merc and Col uses the Peugeot. We only do about 10 to 15 miles in the Ro a week unless the Pods calling. They are the best miles of the week

[anonymous-user]

Yearly average mileage for me, split between 2 cars -

About 6,000 pa in the Monaro (weekend/holiday use)

About 10,000 pa in my commuter car, was a Pug 405 TD, just replaced by a Ford (!) Mondeo ST TDCI.

Trip to work is 24 miles each way, mostly 'A' road, 12 miles single carriage way, then 12 miles dual carriage way. The Monaro does about 20 mpg on this trip, the Mondeo 45 mpg

[Lewis07]

Early days but reckon no more than 100. Thought about ditching Aygo and using Ro but reckon it would be bad for motor as the journey to station is only 5 miles.

[Paul.H.]

Because of my situation, each time I'm home I average around 600 miles a week for 3 weeks - times 3 for the amount of hols I get per year and 5400 miles annually doesn't sound too bad does it?(insurance is limited to 6K/year !) But, then again, it's costing more each time I am home...175 road tax Jan 07, 205 Jan 08 & (allegedly) 425 Jan 09. Mmmm! Plus petrol rises!


Edited to say: not voted cos it would'nt be an accurate vote!

Initially did about 1000 miles/month, loved it, but now considering a cheap run round for winter and crap weather. Trouble is these cars tend to get under your skin and I for one like to see it look good.

[wallsjay]

at least 1000 a week i recon i fill up both gas and petrol 3 times a week but the company pay
