Your Rate of 'Mileage'

[Dire]

I felt like this after a comment in another thread...


Something that interests me is the rate at which you've gained mileage on your lancer.

For example, I've done ~19,500km in ~13 months. 19500/13 = 1,500km per month.
If you feel like it: Say a month is 30 days, thats about 50km a day for me


I won't bore you with the details but I can tell immediately from that, that about half my driving must be from leisure driving and hanging out with friends. Plenty of quality time with the lancer, and not a second wasted


I'm quite interested in any extremes among the club. I know aspir3's will be extremely low, and a few must have very high mileage. Do you commute far or does work require driving?

I'm a pizza delivery driver now so my mileage will be peaking (I know, I'm so high up in the world ).

I live 1.5kms from work and usually commute as I am an IT Manager so I have a laptop and a couple of backups to carry each day.

But still I have managed to do 45,000km in 17months, 15000 of which I have done in the last 4 months.

so on average I do 2650km a month
or
88kms a day

Damn I did not think I was doing 2600km a month, I would say most of the kms come from me being in Sydney and Brisbane every couple of weeks (1000+km round trip).

Well, at last count, I'd just hit 46,000km in 17 months.
Which works out to about 90km a day. :p

[shaine]

27000 in 24 months, 37k's per day for me, not bad!

[dannyboi]

7000 km in 9 months

777.8 km / month

25 km / day


That's with my dad using the car for about 2 months and a road trip to Melbourne. Going to work is about 15 km / day, but I'm walking in when possible, so the car isn't being used that much.

[Alileighju]

I do 75km / day.

So about 1500 / month.

I've only had my car for about 2 months and it's already at 5000km...

[Aaron2550]

4000 a year lol.

I could porb say less then that.

[vr]

1200klms a week as a Driving instructor

The car has done 72000Klms trouble free

@vr: You're using the Lancer to teach driving?

[bd-850]

at the moment i average 5-10ks a week
roughly 35000ks in 19 months

[aspir3]

I use to do about a 1000 kilometers a month when I first got my car.

I then got a new job with a company work vehicle about 2 years ago and now hardly drive the Aspire. We drive the Aspire to weddings or special functions and cruises only.

So I had 4000km in March 2009

Now my car has a total of 8400km.

This included 1 trip to Melbourne for the first national meet which was a 1700km round trip.

So at the moment I average about 2000 km a year. lol

[BlueWRX]

50,000km in 18 months

[LZY_EYE]

My CJ was 30months old when I got rid of it with 150,000kms on the clock. So 5000kms / month!!

The Focus has almost 10,000kms on it, and that was from the end of January!!

I travel at least 180kms a day for work, and then whatever I do on the weekends

[Dire]

Wow I thought I'd have more than most from getting up to my teenage business, but it seems I'm below average...

And vr, 1200 a week? And that'd be mostly with a learner behind the wheel? Thats dedicated

Edit: Congratulations on 5000 posts Shane

From December until two weeks ago i was doing 1100km a week!!! but now the car barely gets driven as i have a company car so ill probably average 50 to 100km tops!!

While doing the 1100km's a week i got some pretty awesome fuel consumption out of the RA 8.1/100 being my best!(was a 1.5 hour trip average speed of 82kph) Most days i would average between 8.5-9.8l/100km
