How many miles do you drive in a month?

**Coderedpl** · 03-08-2011 08:24 AM

Just wondering how many miles people drive per month, i did a quick rough calculation and it looks like I'm doing about 1,500.....counting work and school and rounding up. I think i might actually be doing more considering i drive various places all the time.

That means i'm tanking up like 5 or more times per month considering i get 300-330 to the tank...I know my wallet doesn't like it too much with the gas prices.

**rs4 tony** · 03-08-2011 08:25 AM

about 800-1k

I'm about the same, roughly 1400 per month with a tank up at 280-300 miles

I've got two cars - my A4 and a Ford Expedition. I use the Expy for all the 'heavy lifting'.. house stuff, to and from hockey with all my smelly hockey shit and when it rains or is shitty out.

That said, I drive my Audi about 800 miles a month.

**chrislane31** · 03-08-2011 08:28 AM

2-3000 per month

**Otter11** · 03-08-2011 08:28 AM

i do about about 3,500 to 4,000 a month. Thats why i have 154k on mine. Im starting to fly more now though

**Inked** · 03-08-2011 08:32 AM

Audi = try to stay under 500m/month
Ford = 2000m+/month

**Coderedpl** · 03-08-2011 08:33 AM

Godamn, some of you people must work far away or something

**yungcotter** · 03-08-2011 08:38 AM

Hell yeah! That's the way to do it!! I don't drive that much though.. I try to split them even but it all depends on what I'm doing and weather and what not. I love my 99 Expedition with 196,400 miles on it.. the thing runs like new and is an absolute tank!

Nice, lol. My fiancee hates driving my truck.. she's got a small 5spd Civic coupe.. but those big Ford trucks will run forever. Never really liked Ford but I supposed they do one thing right...

**rjkotler** · 03-08-2011 08:45 AM

I am currently running at about 2,875 per month or about 35,000 per year. When I go to the office it is an 80 mile round trip. The rest of the time I am driving to and from sales meetings.

I know some people have a beater car that they put the miles on but I spend so much time in my car that I want to spend it in a car I love.

Couldn't have said it better myself. I'm not a huge fan of the 13.3mpg though lol. A small price to pay, I suppose...

**EinSchnellAudi** · 03-08-2011 09:22 AM

I clock over 3000 a month. Drive from ct to providence 4x a week, trips around town, and to NNJ every weekend almost. Ive put on 10k in 3 months :/

**vdubjetta02** · 03-08-2011 09:49 AM

Jeep -> 3,000 miles

Audi -> 400 ?

**naiku** · 03-08-2011 09:56 AM

Not sure on total, but I imagine it is around 2000 a month, 1800 miles to work and back + any trips I make at the weekends/evenings. A long commute sucks.

**tankdeer** · 03-08-2011 10:03 AM

Very little. 300-400 a month. Hooray for no commute.

**co_pa** · 03-08-2011 10:03 AM

now ask me about my sh*tty MPGs.

**freaksavior** · 03-08-2011 10:04 AM

14mi to and from work, 5 time a week.
So about 2170 miles a month. Or 26k miles per year.
But I've been driving a bit more than that, so probably closer to 27-28k miles per year is more accurate.

**excelb7** · 03-08-2011 12:10 PM

I drive about 1600 miles a month, I'm a Chinese food delivery driver at night.

Amen to that!

**Jaki** · 03-08-2011 12:28 PM

About 1500/month. Was getting right around 390-430 miles per tank. The last three fill ups I only got around 330 miles per tank. Need to take a look, to see whats up with the lower mpg.

**MisterQuattro** · 03-08-2011 12:28 PM

1,500 - 2,000 a month

**jriddle11** · 03-08-2011 12:36 PM

Audi - at least 1,000 miles a month

BMW - 500 a month, It's my wifes and we both prefer the Audi so she only drives the BMW to work.

**schirm** · 03-08-2011 01:20 PM

got my car 22 months ago put over 60k on it

**Coderedpl** · 03-08-2011 02:10 PM

Reading all these replies dorsnt make me feel that babad. Gas prices make it a money pit though damn

Say what?? 14 miles one way commute for work = 28 a day, 140 a week, and that makes 7280 a year. How did you get 27k from there????

I drive my beater accord to work, 30 miles one way, 5 days a week. I put on about 18k a year on that car. I put about 100 miles on the a4 a month.
The accord just got rear ended last week though, so I am in need to pick out a new beater. WANT: g60 corrado, but my needs are probably going to push me toward another honda to keep it reliable, efficient, and not totally unbearable to drive.

**vdubjetta02** · 03-09-2011 06:06 PM

I punch myself in the face for driving my V8 AWD jeep as my commuter, but I am just not willing to rack up 110 Miles/ DAY on my Audi....

The Audi gets almost 2x better gas mileage too

Pulling up to a construction site in a slammed audi on 19's at only 24 does not put out a good image for me though.... So not Audi driving to work, I'd rather people i work with not know i own it

**Soul Kitchen** · 03-09-2011 06:07 PM

On average I would say I drive about 200 miles a month.

then again I live in a town where you can't drive for more than 10 minutes without leaving the city limits LOL

**b7kevin** · 03-09-2011 06:26 PM

1,000-2,000 a month I wish miles didn't add up so fast :(

Wow, that is very low! I wish I only had to drive that much, talk about saving money from fuel!

**Coderedpl** · 03-09-2011 07:10 PM

I guess I should of made the options a bit on the higher side haha

**A 4 Awesome** · 03-09-2011 07:22 PM

I should be putting less miles on my car now that I work from home but somehow that has not happened. I think my weekend back-road drives make up for the lack of a commute.

Wow total fail on my math. I was at work and working on several issues at once, I was half here when typing haha.
So yes it's you are right. 28 daily, 5 x A week is 140. 140 x 52 is 7280. Thanks for clearing that up. So probably 10k mi a year total.

Hey bud saw your post from last year regarding how much you drive and had a quick question **** I too drive a lot with my job and was wondering how many miles you currently have on your b7 and if your turbo has blown ? Any. Major cost mechanical issues ?? Thanks !

**mellonhdz** · 03-02-2012 08:48 AM

Since I changed jobs, 260 - 290 a month. I walk to work.

**9Hooker** · 03-02-2012 11:58 AM

I live on an island 2x3 miles in size. To and from work, I'm well under 5k/year.
