    Smiles to the Mile: How Much Do You Drive Per Week?

    I commute a grand total of 30 miles per week (not per day, per week). The rest of my mileage is for fun and it's usually about 300 miles per week. This last week I put 500 miles on my (new to me) m20: getting up before dawn and driving around town, exploring the hills around Silicon Valley and just chilling out on the empty highways at 4AM.

    How many "for fun" miles do you put on your e30?

        I spent $500 in gas in the past 30 days, and my daily commute is about 6 miles. So... lots.

              I average about 6k miles a year in the e30 which averages out to 115 a week and sounds about right. It's my daily but my commute is ~3 mi and we usually take the gf's car for any long trips :). The miles are all mountain/spirited and city driving so gotta maintain parts by time rather than mileage

                I do about 15-20 miles a week xD I work from home and don't go to school so I don't drive around that much. If I have to go out of town (rarely), I usually take my bike

                  I've only had time for a few for-fun drives this semester, but I enjoy DDing my E30 every single day. So far this year I haven't driven my E30 a total of 2 days, which is a lot. Will be putting on many smile-miles this summer. Plan on taking her up to northern AZ, mountain runs, gatherings/cruises, exploring and trying to find the best twisties in the area.

                  BUT. Once the 280Z is running it may take up some of those miles. Depends on how road-worthy I can get her over the summer.

                    About 360 if I do nothing but work. Around 450 to 500 if my friends wanna kick it. I only get to drive my Focus but that's fine. It's pretty fun to drive and such.

                      I've been averaging somewhere around 4-500 miles per month split between the M3 and the Manwagon. I rarely drive during the week so it's pretty much all weekend miles.

                        i easily do 400-500 miles a week. My commute has always been similar, and definitely the most fun with the E30. But can't complain about the 50 mpg with the diesel daily bitch.

                          Rarely more than 20-30 mls on a good weekend... Sooo not enough.
                          Unfortunately I can't drive it daily since I need my truck for tools, materials, etc.

                            Commuting i do around 200(kms) or so a week, plus around 50 ontop of that if i go for a little cruise. Recently i did a 700 kilometre round trip to the south west which the e30 soaked up perfectly. E30 is the ultimate alrounder.

                              I probably go through 2-3 tanks of fuel a week, and never drive anything but my E30 unless I absolutely have to. I'd call all of those "for fun" miles. It's just too fun to let it sit around! And besides, a great car isn't one that sits, it's one that drives.
