Too damn much

I know Debbie has a truck here that has over 500,000 on it and another one that as over 440.000. We don't drive those anymore. We racked up miles over the years on the paper route. And a lot now delivering what we deliver.

About 25 miles per workday. On days off, I hardly leave the house.

I’m on my fifth Grand Caravan at the moment: each between 250,000 and 300,000 miles. A few other cars and trucks in there, same, and a few bikes. I hate driving places.

A typical workday is a 7,500 mile drive, just no roads.

It's not a figure I've kept track of. I suspect my overall average yearly driving is about 9K to 12K. I've been driving for 60 years, so make the total around 600-700K. The most driven on one trip was 11,750 miles--85 days in a 1966 Mustang the summer of 2005.

According to the odometer in my 17yr old Jeep I bought new in 2003 ... about 3000 miles a year. Not a month, a year. I'm retired and not sure how I rack up 3000 miles a year. It's not like I go anywhere.
In my life I've never put even 100K on any one vehicle but had a bunch of different vehicles until this Jeep. Had it longer than any vehicle by a wide margin.

We average about 17,500 per year with about a third of it going back and forth to Florida. 6,500 miles round trip.

Since taking my new job in June, I’ve put 16,000 miles on the company SUV. So, I’m on pace for 32,000 in a year.
Add on personal miles/car and I’m at 40-45,000 per year.

Only 5k since February. Nice on the wallet at $60 per fill up. Truck is 4 years old last month and just clicked 35k this month. Wife’s 4runner is 8 years last month and not even 80k and that includes A half dozen thousand mile road trip vacations.
We just don’t drive much and since covid my commute has been 0.

I have flown to most parts of the world. Not China, not on my list. Not Russia, but on my list.

I have driven most everywhere east of the Rockies. Including some really long drives east to west and north to south, but I have never driven west of the rockies.

Lifetime mileage not that high. Just a few long trips. Really I don't drive that much outside of those. Longest record drive was 22 hours nonstop besides RR, food and gas.

Last two vehicles over 4 years averaged 15k a year, mostly trips with the 4Runners and 4 bikes on the back.

Fast math says >600,000 on my personal vehicles. Add to that roughly 100,000 miles per year for 24 years of delivery work.

3 million give or take.

My dad has been a long haul truck driver for 35 years, he's retiring in February recently we started talking about how many miles he's probably driven. After much deliberation we came to an average of 2200 miles a week.

2200x52=114,400 miles
114,400x35=4,004,000 Miles over the course of his career. He thinks that probably low but he never kept track of all of his miles.

I started using Fuelly.com back in 2010.
Looking at my history on there, between all the vehicles I've tracked:
159,862 miles, and that's skewed a bit, as my wife doesn't always reset the trip odo on her car when she fills it up.

Puts me around 15k/yr average Eek

I know in my college years, I was doing about 2-3k/month driving back/forth between school & home.

I'd say 35k+ a year. Most of those are work miles. I drive at least 100 miles a day at work. Some days it's more like 200.

I couldn't even guess how many miles over my lifetime.

I really shouldn't be counted because I've been pretty homebound since surgery that left me stroked. I bought a 2013 Accord EXL-V6 new in late 2013 and today I still have just 6,000 miles. In fact my car hasn't left the garage since March this year. I'd love to drive it more but just don't feel up to it. It's practically still in showroom condition so the next owner will be getting a super deal.

I'd guess about 800,000 would be about right.

I was driving about 40K per year when I was working including personal use.
Now that I’m retired (and pre-Covid) I’ve cut that to less than half...probably between 15 & 18K/yr.

I never really thought about it. But as a quick calculation I buy cars and trucks new and run them to death. None were ever gone before 200K and many ran way beyond that. But just using that minimum I get 2.6M plus miles. Now I have to give some of that to my wife since she also drives the vehicles so if I give her 30% I get like 1.8M. Probably a floor since I didn't count some of the specialty cars I have and have had with very low numbers and motorcycle time.
