How far does your car drive on average?

[evorobin]

Just reading a forum where someone said they had covered nearly 10K in three months (new car) which seems stupidly high ie 100km / day average.

KM's / Days old to nearest year.

79' MK1 Golf = 233K = 21km/day

88' MK2 Golf = 220K = 29km/day

89' Audi 90 = 320K = 44km/day

Obviously newer cars are prone to high km's during initial working life but interested to hear all averages.

I usually drive my car on weekends only (sometimes once or twice during the week). I reckon I average about 100km a week at the moment. That's the beauty of living so close to the city/work.

[h100vw]

I do about 500 a week in the Ibiza. The S3 does about 250ish, mostly not me..... Toledo probably on 150 a week tops.

I Probably drive mine a little more than 100km a day, going to uni and other days I work. Then on the weekend I still drive around a bit too.

[Golf Houso]

16km/day, VR6 74,635km

Mine varies alot, generally got to do with whether its running or not hahaha! I'd say between 1-200 a week, I did 350k's last sat running around Sydney in my dad's falcon, worst car ever!!!

Based on year of car and KM's travelled, works out to around 40km/day on average. Although recently it's more like 30km/day (~200km/week).

[static1800]

76 Mk1 - 85k - Get ready for it! 7km/day :)

[GoLfMan]

i do about 300-350kms a week :)

[DubSteve]

mk1 82 GTI - 104K miles - 10.6miles/day :)

[mikepologti]

[evorobin]

mk1 82 GTI - 104K miles - 10.6miles/day :)

Not really stupidly high, I clock 100km per day to work and back, so excluding weekends I will probably do around 6,000km in 3 months.

It only takes me 45 minutes to get to work....pretty typical of a lot of people who live in SA really....I'd rather drive 50km in 45 minutes than 10km in the same time though, like some of our eastern states friends have to do!

[velly_16v_cab]

my mk2 does 230km / day :cool:

Tis good good sir not bad aye :banana:

[KWICKS]

2008 MkV GTI = 27km/day (10000kms in a year travelled). This average is rising currently with usage closer to 60kms/day at present (longer commute).

2005 RB Liberty = 62 km/day (103000km in 4.5 years travelled).

[Manaz]

I'd average 10-15km per day I'd say. I drop my son to childcare and then get a train from the local station in the morning, and then drive home from the station each night.

[Gravey]

Ahhh the joys of having decent public transport Manaz - half you're luck! I'd love to keep the mileage down, unfortuantly its not an option unless I move :(

[mrpayne]

My Punto, first reg may 2007, has 60126 km today. ~65km/day.

I have only had it since July last year though, and I bought it with 28000km. So I have done ~80km/day i think since I have purchased it.

[The_Hawk]

We used to do 100 - 150km/day when we lived in the Southern Highlands and worked in the city.

Now... well I do about 16 - 20km a day to and form the local train station :)

[maca]

8km to and from the gym 3 days a week and about 400m to and from work 4 days a week. Then some weekend driving on average maybe 150-200km... I'm liking this because since I got the car in February, I've racked up about 21,000km!!

[NickZ]

Have done about 38000km since getting the car in June 2007, works out to be about 330km a week. Some weeks I drive very little (100km) and some weeks do 400 - 500km a week, depending on where work takes me.

[greasykitchen]

'76 Mk1, just under 147,000 = average of 12.2km a day.

Right now I do 15km or so a day - work and back. So I'm above average.

In the four and a bit years since I bought it, I've done a little over 30,000km. Probably more action than it had seen in its life before I got it.

(Actually, I drive, the car just does what I tell it to :D )

[MattyT]

260,xxx km. 1995 build... 50km a day. I dont drive very much at all. Maybe 100km a week? Only done about 20,000km since I bought it.

[Ben_GTI]

The Mk3 does 130km/day minimum... The Pogo would do on average 40km/day.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Dunno how I manage to do it because I don't NEED to drive anywhere each week, but I go through about 40 bucks of petrol a week which ends up being ~250-300 kms.

[Lorenz]

I do about 4ks a day to and from work, might aswell bloody walk it again!

155, xxx kms 1997 = 250ks/week

[Kaffy]

I drive my bug to/from work Mondays through Fridays and maybe once a month on the weekends. It's 45km round trip each day so that makes 225km/week.. and it uses less than half a tank of gas (costs me $US30 for a full tank, so a week's driving costs me $US15 - most of my driving is highway hence the better mileage)

[rearrange]

I averaged about 8km per day last year. I work from home and live in the city so only drive if I can't walk somewhere. However I've averaged 19km per day in my new Caddy since it was delivered six weeks ago. I must be enjoying it.

[Preen59]

I do about 447km a week (~64km a day) on average in the Caddy. :)

[mfl]

between driving to work and dad's taxi duties about 350 -400km a week

[the scotsman]

Only do about 100k's a week in the audi, depending on where we go at the weekend, do about 200k's a week on the pushie instead....
