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

[gr8skyr]

Averaged 80 miles a week in three years owning my first e30. Caveat is that mine's essentially rust-free, so keep it babied and drive it on dry days mostly. Splits the duties with a bike and truck, so most of the miles are fun...very fun.

Now that I'm caught up on timing belt and cooling system overhaul, am ready to rack up a few more miles now.

Average about 30k per year.

[ML e30]

I have a 1/2 mile commute to work, but always seem to make it a 30-45 minute journey....

[IRON-E]

Possible close to 50 miles daily, x 4 + 200 miles on weekends = 400 miles weekly.
Average 1 full tank of petrol, every 5-6 days or so.

I really do enjoy the fun driving the most though and, all of the "cool car man" comments I get on the road too. :D

I commute to school and have class everyday. 60 mile round trip 5 days a week so I put approximately 300+ miles on my e34. At least its a fun commute since I have to drive through the mountains.

[achtung911]

150 miles a month is what I average

Usually 15ish miles a day. Sometimes if it's a nice night I'll go for a cruise around the city just because.

I got my E30 so I can put less miles on my 135i. 3 weeks after getting the suspension etc all done the conrod shredded a bearing. Im putting about 20,000 miles a year on the 135i, which is going to drop its resale value pretty quick.

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.

How much of that is aimless driving and how much actually has a destination?

I am on par with about 25k miles a year, probably plus some. I just really like driving.

[long tall eta]

500 a week just to and from work and another couple hundred joy riding. somewhere around 370,000 on the eta. boy i love and respect this car.

[lolcantturn]

1 tank a week - about 330 miles.

[bimmer2288]

I keep it down, not much time for joyrides right now unfortunately. But its nice to have a car that's averaged only about 6200 miles/year throughout its life :)

[Cabriolet]

i average 8k a year in commute and fun miles. dont get many fun miles due to fixing so many cars.

[TYBG]

30 miles a day on the e30 and I clock around 150 miles everyday for work except weekends

[blunttech]

30 miles a week to work I wish it were more as the car never gets up to temp. Not good for it
