How many miles do you drive?

I was just in the Journey thread and noticed someone had a 16 Journey with 110,00 miles. To me that's crazy! I've had this discussion with some friends as well....seems almost everyone drives a TON more than the wife and I. I have a 13 pickup(bought new) with 52k on it and the wife has a 14 car(also bought new) with 42k on it. I have a 17 mi(one way) commute but I don't go in everyday(especially now) wife has a couple mile commute. My last truck was an 04 that I traded for the 13...it had 62k on it.Other than work we really don't go anywhere. How much do you drive?

My 98 Saturn has 318,000 on it

I can see that on a 20+ yr old car......crazy with 100+k miles on a couple year old car!

My commute is 120 miles round trip. My '13 Tacoma that I bought certified used in August '16 with 18k on the clock will turn 140,000 on my way to work this morning.

My 2015 = 34,175

I've worked at 3 different places thus far. 1st job was 6 miles commute, 2nd job was a 8 mile commute. Met my wife and moved so my 8 mile commute turned into a 90 mile commute. Did that for 3 years until I finally decided I had enough of it. When I 1st started all I had was my 07 Ram 2500 and was spending $600+ a month on gas alone. That's back when gas was over $3 a gal. I ended up buying a brand new Honda Civic just to commute to work. Even with the added car payment and insurance I was still ahead because of the money I was saving on gas. My current job is a 47 mile commute. Wish I could find another less than 10 mile commute, but leaving in the boondocks that's one perk you won't have.

I have a company vehicle and we live close to my wife's work. If her car gets 15,000 miles a year its unusual and it is our main vehicle on the weekends. I have had my Jeep since 2004 and I have only put a touch under 70K miles on it. It has been a daily driver off and on but not since 2012 really.

We used to worry a lot about MPG but we quit because of our low mileage. We replaced her Journey with a 2018 Durango R/T where 12mpg on a tank in the winter time is not uncommon lol. It is actually getting 14 on her short commute here lately though, almost as good as the journey.

My commutes to most of the jobs I’ve had over the last 25 years that average 50+ miles round trip. My 2014 Dart I bought new in July 2014 has about 95,000 miles. I also have a ‘09 Challenger that I drive on weekends when it’s nice, and maybe once a week to work during fair weather months. It has 33,000 miles.
All in all I average 20,000 miles a year. For now I’m working at home and a tank of gas is lasting over a month.

There was a 2019 Charger GT that I found on car gurus.....

37,000 miles !

These days we don't drive a lot of miles.. I'm guessing 4,000/year. I recall reading the US average was 10k/year..?

When I was single, I used to be as high as 1,000 miles per week, for two reasons - I supervised several construction sites, and I'd easily drive 3-4 hour weekend trips for outdoor fun and friends.

I'm sure it will depend on your job, and where you live - how far away things are to travel to.

Now I'm married, kids, retired - my wife commutes 5 miles, and I drive just for pleasure or errands, plus some 6-7 hour vacation trips thrown in every year.
Our 2005 Sienna has 80k something, and our 2013 CC has maybe 50k.. both bought used, with miles on them.
I put about 2,500 miles on all our Classic cars combined - in a good year.

I drive 50 miles round trip to and from work every day. My wife's drive is a little longer. I took over driving her 16 Dart at the beginning of this year. We bought it on October 31st 2017 with 4000 miles on it. It just turned 74,000 miles. We drive it a lot.

My 2012 Ram, that I bought after I retired, has 19k miles on it.

It was in pristine shape until a few months ago when it got hit (and run) twice in a matter of days. Once on each side.

Don`t drive nearly what I did at one time. I bought a new 2007 vehicle and sold it in 2015 with around 280,000 plus miles on it.

I drive 280 miles a month. Hell I think I might walk more.

During a normal year, my wife will drive about 12k miles/year. That's gone way down since the schools closed. In a normal school year, about 10.5k miles of that 12k will be during the school year, and only about 1.5k during the summer months.

Before I started working from home, I drove about 17k miles/year. Now, it's about 8k/year. I usually drive when we go somewhere. Out to eat, visit family, soccer practice/games, etc. In my prior work role, I was on the road constantly, drove about 50k miles/year between work and personal.

My daughter has been driving for 1 year, and has put about 6k on her car.

I've had my truck for one year last as of last month, it has 48k miles on it.

We don't drive much. We bought the '04 BMW in January of 2015 with 92k miles. It has about 117k now. The 2000 Durango gets driven a bit more had 113,000 miles when we bought it in late 2011/early 2012. It sat for the better part of a year while I was looking for body parts. It just turned 170,000...

I bought my most recent 2004 Tacoma in mid 2004. It was the last one of that model on the lot, as they they changed and upsized the newer models. My previous Tacoma had 240K+, and thought it was reaching its end of useful Life. Last time I checked years back, the new owner of the previous Tacoma had over 400K on his. With my current Tacoma, I parked it for a couple of years while I zipped around putting 100K+ on a VW TDI, which was fun. I then went back to driving the O4 Tacoma, original timing chain, tows 5K lb concrete blocks, engine has never been opened, original rear brakes, etc, now has 502K+. That doesn't include any of the hundred of thousands of miles I put on the work trucks over the years.
So to answer the original question, a few.

I don't get in as much seat time since retirement, probably about 12-15,000/year, but that's a guess.
Soon as I got my driver's license I could hardly be pried from behind the wheel. (Actually, before, to be honest...)
From the mid '70s through the late '80s, easily 70K a year.
It was mostly business, time-is-money style, plus road trips.
Then some years commuting & some road trips.
Mid-late '90s, seat time picked back up, about 50K/year, until 2004.
After that, 5 years of a 126-mile/day commute in any weather.
Then it tapered off again to about 40-45K/year, until I retired 18 months ago.

I absolutely love driving, though; hoping to get in a couple of long road trips this year.

35K plus or minus a year 25ish on the Magnum and only 10ish on the truck

My car 24k a year.
Wife’s approximately the same.
Daughter roughly 17k .

63 Plymouth- 1500 per season
99 Durango 53k
10 Hino flatbed 224k
96 Ram 2500 plow truck 156k
18 Camry 12k

My 48 Plymouth coupe averages between 6,000 and 9,000 miles per season (60,000 miles in 8 summers).
My pickup (96 Dakota) gets 3,000-4,000 a year, and most of that is from other people borrowing it, like my son.
Wife's 04 PT just went past 135K total, and most of those miles were done in the first 2-3 years we owned the car.
Sometimes there is a 4th vehicle involved that sees another 3,000-4,000 miles a year.
My wife and I have both been retired since 2018, and before retirement, I worked out of the garage at home and my wife worked in town, maybe 4 miles round trip a day for work.
We probably drive more now then we did the last few years before we retired. We did a lot of driving in our 20s-through our 40s, probably 20,000+ per year. Gene

92 Dakota 351,000

About 5000 miles per year for my Grand Cherokee and the same for my wife's Cherokee.

Wife's Buick Regal is about 7,500 a year.
My Subaru Outback XT is about 2,500 a year.
My 2003 Suziki 650cc Scooter is about 19,000 a year.

'13 R/T , 7K miles still smells new.

Our two cars get about 15k/yr each. My daily round trip is 60 miles, and my wife is a real estate agent.

ALL your cars SMELL!!

Maybe 1500 miles a yr combined on all my vehicles, work at home.

Heck, I put about 5,000 miles a year, on my wagon alone. And it’s only driven 1/2 the year.

I have slowed down in the last 6 years, only do 45-50K a year. My 2015 Ram 4x4 just turned 200K with at least half of it towing. I used to drive 80-100K but am getting old...

I bought an srt4 new in 05. When I unloaded it in '14, it had 218k on it. It still ran like the day I got it too. For what it's worth, that same year I met another person at Carlisle with an '05 srt4 with 359k on it! People are driving the wheels off cars nowadays. Currently I average about 200 miles a day.

I average 22-25K a year.
