Question How many miles/kms per week do you do?

Just wondering how many miles or kms do all the people on the board do on their benzes. I do approx 250 miles (400km) per week on the 126. Does anyone think thats alot of driving? Out of all that is 85% highway driving.

So how much do you all do?

I used to drive about 250, but then I graduated high school. School and work was a total of 20 miles a day.

With college in, I do probably 100. Without, I do like 40-60.

500-600 a week in the 420. Every week, without exception. That's why I bought the 420, I really needed a big safe comfortable car. These cars were meant to be Autobahn cruisers, its like flying first class all the way home. I had a convertible before, lousy on the highway.

Weeks vary but I do roughly 3000 miles a month. My Avalanche that I bought in late Marck has 11,000 on it.

Not necessarily in the Benz, but I typically drive at least 700 miles a week.

750 miles a week just commuting between home and work.
100-150 miles besides that. So about 850 miles all in all.

My average is 76 miles x 7 days a week. That's 26,000 miles I've put on since last July 4th.

Averaged 300 miles/ 500 km per week over the last 1.5 years. 80% highway, it somehow never feels like alot of driving.

In miles

I have a 560SEC, (and a 500SEC that needs a new home), I commute into London from the country five days a week plus a bit of driving to the gym or whatever every night that equals about 160 per day that is 600 per five days. Most weekends I rack up another 2-300 mile so it totals about 8-900 miles per week.
On Saturday though I am driving down to St.Tropez, (That is whay it was designed to do and besides I fly a fair bit so I need a change). It is about about 900 miles, (If I do not get lost, please god). My 560SEC has now topped 140,000 miles and is going strong, at this rate I should be breaking mileage records in no time. Incidently, who has the highest mileage 560SEC, SEC,Merc or anything? Regards, Chris.

I'm in the commercial (big trucks) transportation safety business...accident investigation, audits etc. My monthly average over the last 10 years varies from 8,000 to 10,000 miles per month.
