I have an F-150 work truck that gets the bulk of all my driving, and then the two W123's evenings and weekends.
I probably average 50 miles a week total on the wagon and the Squash.

About 150 miles per week, to and from work, maybe another 100 on weekends. Of course that will go to 0 as soon as the sun comes back out and I start riding the bike to work.

Typically between 150 and 300 depending on circumstances.

My fiancee drives it to work, approximately 26 miles R/T perday, arond 120-140 miles a week, then on weekends she either drives it out to see me 75 miles one way or stays put and I visit her. On holidays like this past one, mileaga is hgher due to the amount of family we need to rn around and see. However, without the ODO operating, it is relitively hard to tell what the exact likeage is...need to fix that as soon as school's out.

I haven't had my TD for long, but I average about 300 a week on my other cars. Most of those miles are on the weekend not from my oft-criticized commute.

When I was working in the mechnic's hop, I was doing about 1000 miles per week. Now with my truck driving job, I do about 600-750 per day.

I am getting roughly 25 mpg with my 1990 350sdl (lots of up and down in the mountains of northern Mass). One of the vocational programs I am teaching is alternative energy. One of those is converting WVO into biodiesel using methanol/lye combined to make methoxide. In the next 2 or 3 weeks we will be producing about 300 to 350 gallons per week.

Wait a minute...there's nothing IN Hubbardston!!!

Back in the 80's in college, my bicycling route from school (Worcester) to home (Keene) took me through Hubbardston, and I recall noting that there wasn't much reason to ever stop in Hubbardston! Business must've moved in since my college days.

I've owned my 300SD for 7 months now and just rolled 16k miles of my own, on top of the 242k that came with it. That puts me on a 27k annual pace.

Of the 16k, 8k on BD homebrew, 8k on WVO/RUG @ $.30 per gal.

Already the best financial car decision I've ever made.

Hi all,
I'm a courier, and I put about 1500 miles a week on my 83 240D. 74K for 2006!
Cheers all,
Chris

I drive about 1000 miles per week. It seems that I am always in the car!

Likewise. In the summer it's between 0 and 40 miles a week. In the winter it's more like 200 (depending on weather, the condition of my bike, the condition of my tired old legs, etc.)

I've put mabye 1,000 miles on my SD since I got my license in December. Should have had it in October but thats another story for another day...
