How many miles do you drive each week?

[Steve]

Just thought it would be interested to see how far everyone drives in a given week.

[Steve]

I'm about 180 miles - 220 miles per week on average. My wife puts on maybe 50 at the most.

[TrailLeadr]

It's doubtful my state is 75 miles end to end in any one direction.

[WestCoastColy]

I travel 30,000 miles per year. So, that averages out to 576.92 miles per week.

[nemopoppins]

That was fun voting early. I just made my group (over 300) jump to a big lead with my one vote! I think there should have been an even bigger choice like over 500. It's close, but I probably would have selected that one with my commuting and driving my five kids all over. Actually only four kids because one now has his own GM truck.

[coloradowillie]

On monday, I drive 180 miles to a place I live during the week for work. Then the daily commute is 30 miles one way. Then I drive home 180 miles. 660 minimum weekly...

I bought the 2004 Colorado last April with 20K, now has 66K.

WOW! You're really making that truck earn it's keep!:tongue:

[retired2001]

I live 25 miles from town & usually make a trip every day. So 350 would be a minimum for me.

[84fiero123]

I don't drive like I used to.

Since my stroke I find it hard to spend more than a couple of hours behind the wheel.

So most of my driving is in town, to doctors appt.

When I was working before the stroke I would drive to jobs less than an hour each way everyday.

If it was more than 1 1/2 hours away I would drive then stay at a motel. Just not worth driving that far each way after a 12 hour shift.

[Davandy]

15 Miles in a week :biggrin:

[Caliz71Tahoe]

Up until last May I used to drive 80 miles a day but now I drive less than 75 miles. Gas was too much to have that commute!

[dbledsoe]

I drive about 800 miles per week. I have a Japanese gas-miser for most of it.

[canadianbacon]

my 1 way commute is about 50-55 miles...

[doug]

135 miles a week

[nomexx2]

[NHSilverado]

My miles per week varies so it would not be accurate for me to vote. It all depends on if I am working that week and where the job site is( self employed carpenter ), if it is hunting season, and so on. I put approx 12,500 miles a year on my truck. 1/3-1/2 of that is during hunting season. I can go weeks and maybe put on 300 miles or I can do that in a day if I have to travel a ways to the job.

I bought my truck on March 29, 2006. I currently only have 10,516 miles on it as of Feb 2, 2007.

[ChriSS]

Another vote for "More than 300". I have 30k on an '06 TB. I bought it in 9/05 though.

[RAM717]

I drive over 300 miles, 550 miles each week to be exact.

[GM_Guy]

20 miles a week for me

[kb9vzd]

about 60 miles a week :rolleyes:

[Steve]

Haha, we've got 35 voters for this poll. Let's get some more! :tongue:

[sierra818]

My wife actually drives the truck M-F and that's about 45-50 miles/wk.
I drive our Accord, and I do between 150-195 per week

[Heyboo63]

I drive at least 40 to 50 miles a day. I work 7 days a week. Compared to my ex, that is very low miles. He can put 25000 miles on a vehicle in one year.

[njnavy07]

I do at least 625 a week, when I only have a 5 day week. It is about 120 round trip, and that is just commuting, I didn't include driving the kids around and stuff like that.
Luckily my wife only goes 4 each way or else we would get killed on gas. My truck is ok, get about 17 on the highway, but my wife's SUV only gets 14.

[terry0341]

Well maybe 10 miles a week. Kids are just now getting into activities, "Drivers start your engines"!

[MagForce]

About 21 to 25 miles a day M-F...weekends are another story , depends on the activities planned...

[tstauffacher]

I drive about 130 to 140 miles a day. Most of it is interstate i-95 and i-4 in crowded, sunny florida. Traffic tends to wear out the nerves of even the most patient of us. Why can't everyone just do 80 in the fast lane and 76 in the slow lane. Steady 24 MPG with the I-5 Colorado.

[georgesedlack]

I drive 260 miles a day. 5 days a week

[ljjcsautomotive]

I drive far more than 300 a week. A round trip to work is 190 miles. Then add up taking the kids to school, getting groceries, going to the local walmart, ect. I have to change my oil twice a month, sometimes more. On average I put 7500 miles per month on my suburban. I feel like I never get out from behind the wheel. Hey but thats fine by me. The only problem I have is filling up. My wallet is always lite.

[xberto]

8990 mile in my trucks 1st 271 days = 33.1 mile per day

[KD7ONE]

I drive about 80-100 during the week. The good part about that is the company I work for compensates me with a monthly check for gas. They pay me .40 per mile.:biggrin:

[acrespo3]

15 Miles in a week :biggrin:



uhmmmm about 300 a week

[CK15906]

I average just under 300 a DAY. That's a lot of dead dinosaurs in a Vortec 350 w/ towing gears.

[NHSilverado]

Traffic tends to wear out the nerves of even the most patient of us. Why can't everyone just do 80 in the fast lane and 76 in the slow lane.

Because it is illegal and dangerous to travel that fast.

[Rolen]

I commute 160 miles roundtrip each day, 4 days a week. My wife alos makes that same drive one day a week. We work together so she rides with me on my days. So all in all it adds up to 800 miles / week plus the driving to lunch and errands at work.

Last year I think we put close to 50K mles on our car.

By the way, we drive our Prius to work most of the time. Now that we got a new Suburban we drive it maybe once a week. Ouch on the gas bill with it.

[Aeropagus]

More than 300 here for me on average.

[bigbass140]

well anywhere i go around where i live i drive a min of 20 miles one way on average i probally drive 400 to 500 a week and if i make more than one trip to dallas i can clear about 700 a week.

[diamondback5]

I drive 450 miles a week.

[Sandy72526]

I drive about 75 miles per day just in the Providence area.....but it certainly is fun to drive from the northern most part of Little Rhody to the Southern most tip and still clock in at under an hour's time on the road!

[Steve]

We have a disproportinate number of folks from Rhode Island on this site. :biggrin:

[mr.copenhagen]

i drive from home.school which is about 2 miles, than back to the farm so another two miles, than just screwin aorund so ireally have no idea ill find out sometime. plus is this jsut askin for one vehical or in jeneral with the total number of vehicals in your household?

[GWAGON_99]

I average around 250/week however I am known for long trips to SC,CT, and the like so I usually put 25-30K/Yr. But alot of it is in big chunks.

whare in CT and SC do you go to???

[TrailLeadr]

We have a disproportionate number of folks from Rhode Island on this site. :biggrin:

I'm thinking you'll see an increase once the stickers are out in circulation.

[GWAGON_99]

whare in CT and SC do you go to???
My wife was born and raised in New Britain, CT and her brother lives in Avon so we head up that direction about twice a year to visit her family. Also my wife and I met at college in Greenville, SC and her sister attends there now so we go out there usually once a year to visit her and some of our friends. We usually stop by DE on the way to CT to visit my grandparents and see the ocean.

lol wow new britain...haha im sorry but that city scares me haha..which do ya like more SC or CT??? in my opition SC is better..nicer people

[GWAGON_99]

Without a doutb it would be SC. The people are friendlier and the scenery is gorgeous. Greenville, SC is very close to Paris Mountain so we usually head up there to the state park and do some hiking. Plus no parent in-laws:biggrin:

[JimR]

I drive an '05 Venture to deliver nuclear medicines to pharmacies and hospitals in Ohio and surrounding states. I just turned 334,000 miles on it this weekend. That's about 2900 miles a week. OK, so it's my job, but it's also how far I drive each week!

Jim

thanks for joining up. I want to pick your brain on the venture as it's on the list of new vehicles that we're going to start looking at. Feel free to post in the van section.

[JimR]

I'd be happy to help, Steve. Of course the Venture isn't made anymore, it's been replaced by the Uplander. Same basic vehicle, though. I just bought a 2007 new style Silverado for myself (pronounced "wife") and was delighted to find this forum. I'll be sure to visit the van section often. This site opens up a whole new world of information and friends.

[Flatman]

About 350 a week for me... :party:

[Chevy Girl]

I drive more every year as I like to go skiing in the mountains, get out of town and more.

[hotwheels93]

right now... 0. I go everywhere on foot.

[Cableguy]

right now... 0. I go everywhere on foot.

Pull rank! Kick someone off the humvee...:lol:

[tbplus10]

I drive my personal vehicles 350 miles a week. My company truck averages 850 a week.

[hotwheels93]

Pull rank! Kick someone off the humvee...:lol:

They call us groundpounders for a reason... I'm proud of my dusty dirty boots:rofl:

[95CTburb19]

i average about 190-250 per week
10 mpg
19-25 gallons per week
60.23-79.25 dollars per week...i really need to drive less

[88 Dually 4x4]

350 aweek just for work

[Steve]

350 aweek just for work

That's 70 miles round-trip for you. I took a contract job a few years ago that was 45 miles each way... KILLED me. That was only a 6 month gig, so I was happy when it ended.

Come on, who else?

[Steve]

My new job is 31.4 miles from my house. However, we've moving in the first of the year, it will be like 35 miles, so 70 mile round-trip in mega-traffic. :-(

[JayMack75]

I'm always on the road in my Silverado, butI bring out the Suburban on the weekends for car shows and displays, etc.

[Crawdaddy]

I do between 80 and 100 a day. There was a time when I'd clock 200+ in a day, when I was doing burglar alarm work, but luckily that's over... I have a 45 mile one-way commute into work 5 days a week. Then, I pull the Sub out and run around in it on the weekends, probably clock another 150 miles on the weekend.

[GM_Guy]

with gas the way it's going, I'll cut back some

[finalday7]

I'm @ about 250/week.

[pasch69]

I put 18,000 miles on a 2007 Colorado that i bought brand new last Feb. So well over 300 miles a week. As Americans we are "living" in our rides (dvd systems, stereo systems that cost as much as the ride, computers ) In my knick of the woods you can pay more for a ride than a house to live in! Im strayin from the question but in a nutshell we spend lots of time behind the wheel.

[DirtDog]

Well, lets see here... I've had my truck 6 months and three days. Right now, it has about 4100 miles on it... Thats about 46 miles per week.:rofl:

[jdchet]

Only about 50 to 75 miles or so in the Silverado:frown:.
About 1000 to 1500 miles in the Freightliner:sign0173:!

JD:glasses:

[Duramax04]

To work and back about 40 miles round trip and then a few miles to town on the weekends so average 250 a week = $55.00 diesel fuel.

[finalday7]

Man I sure wish I could have shelled out the bones for a diesel 4x4....One day. :great:

[nemopoppins]

Well, lets see here... I've had my truck 6 months and three days. Right now, it has about 4100 miles on it... Thats about 46 miles per week.:rofl:

We got my new Suburban in October and I already have about 5600 miles on it. And I'm using it much less than my old one, because my daughter now has the old one so I don't have to drive her everywhere! We should be an ad for Chevy. Of driving age are my husband and I, of course, and our two oldest kids. We have two Suburbans and two heavy duty 2500 Silverado Pickups. And we all pour the miles on. I guess that's why we don't do anything else!

[aircraftcontractor]

I'm 45 miles from work, We're on a 4 10 schedule. I work between 4 to 6 days a week.

[eztosee]

does truck driving count? If it does, I drive 10 miles to work, at work I drive 2400- 2550 a week and then i drive 10 miles back home.

[Steve]

My miles are way up. 35 x 2 x 3 (or 4). So it's from 210 to 300 per week to work and then another 100+ on the weekends.

[TXGrayGhost]

I'm not sure how many miles it is, but it takes me 5 minutes and 23 seconds to get from work to home and vice versa. It's all the extra driving I do because I LOVE driving my truck that gets me in the above 75 mile/week range! Of course that's diminished a little since gas became so expensive - but it didn't diminish much. :)

[Davek]

I only have to drive 3 miles round trip to the train station near my house...but when I need to go pick something up at the store, its usually 50 miles. We've also been doing alot of towing our race car around the state this summer, with diesel bills easily outpacing the racing entry fees. :(

Dave

[johnvosh]

Well to go to work is 31KM, so a round trip is 62KM. Right now I travel to work 4 days a week, but will be back up to 5 days a week. This works out to be 248KM - 310KM just to get to work, plus a little driving around on the days off, so probably about 400KM a week which is around 250 Miles.

[Sleepy101]

On the avg I put about 260 miles a week, on my 03' Avalanche, and the wife puts around 170 miles per week on her 03' Suburban. Most of the miles are predominately highway driven miles.

[heaviechevie]

I drive about 170 a week. Gets a little expensive at less than 11 mpg.

[bry2500]

I only live 2 miles from work so on average I drive 10 - 12 miles a week. I only use the truck to got to work. At least for now, once the lift goes in there will be some unpaved mileage added onto that.

[CJ n Shagy]

everyday is different
but 350 to 400 every week on average

[BurbStone]

I put on at least 250 a week for personal and to and from work, much more if I have to travel for work.

[WestCoastColy]

I travel 30,000 miles per year. So, that averages out to 576.92 miles per week.

I now have 97,000 miles on my 2005 Colorado that was purchased 08/23/2005

[JMoney02]

Does this only poll for communting for work? About 225 total for three days. If we are talking the whole week, then, good question, I don't know, I just drive, the Burban, the Titan and the Harley, does the Harley count for the total?????:rofl:

Jeff

[highmilageklr]

It's always over 50 miles one way to jobsites for me every day. Sometimes over 75 miles one way, any farther and I rent a motel room.

[TRPLXL2]

I live 30 miles away from work one way, so that's 60 round trip per day. 300 miles a week just for work, and then on the weekend I just drive around trying to get lost. I have found a lot of things in Ohio that way, I have actually spent $100 in a day just driving to no one specific with nothing in mind! :lol:

[Z71_guy]

i only drive 4miles to work and back and maybe down to the parents house on the weekends 80 mile round trip

[1st Synthetics]

Over 300 for me.

[tms1873]

600+....84 miles a day for work and usually no less then 200 on the weekend.

[zachh1020]

About 750/week on average.

[heavy chevy]

76 miles to work 76 home that is a 152 miles a day times 5 that is 760 a week. No wonder my truck has a lil over 12000 on it. I just bought it in december

[DRJ1014]

depends on whats going down lol, having the truck makes everyone call you to pick up things ><

[CarpenterGuy]

depends on whats going down lol, having the truck makes everyone call you to pick up things ><

Haha, yeah. if you dont own a truck then you should know someone with a truck. i'm the guy everyone knows.

[JasonG224]

Depends on what my work schedule is like, but I would guess around 200 miles.

[95CTburb19]

0 these days and I hate it. I only get to drive when I'm home. :grrrrrr:
