How many Klms do you drive a year?

[mash85]

so far ive done 15K in about 3 months. so guess that works out to be about 60K in a year. lookiong at buying a daily driver, something small and economical give me time to play around with the beast too

[nat_daly]

had my licence since may 2005 and done 35,000 k's
i drive up the coast alot..so i guess that dosent help

[The Monty]

30 000 - 40 000 for me. I take the opportunity to drive whenever I can.

[TheSneakiness]

Used to be around 35000 - 40000 a year doing 100 kms a day, 6 days a week.

Going off how far I drive now, wouldn't be anymore than 10,000km a year.

[GreenMachine]

Varies... My old Falcon did 90,000k's in 02, private use only... Probably going to hit 60ish this year - The EB Ghia's been registered just on 6 week and I've done 6,000k's...

[Tote]

About 55,000 Km a year, luckily someone else wears the depreciation and fuel costs.

[Kenaz]

Probably about 15,000 a year.

These days I try to drive my car as little as possible.

[Full Spectrum]

Around about 7800 km home is where i work.

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

In my first car (the ex-family car), my NA Fairlane. I go it late feb with 242,000 kms on it. and when we sold it it was in early november with 264,000 kms on it. so in about 8ish month is put about 22,000 kms on it. i sure did love driving the baby..

[Deadman]

About 50,000km per year ( even with the office being at home :( )

[Yummy Mummy]

Had my car since November 2005, travelled 20,000klms since then, so I suppose I'll be looking at around 40,000klms.

[Dimi_Ghia]

Had my car for a year and have done about 15000kms. I am only 12kms from work but most of the Kms I do have been done on the weekends....

[Noddy]

5000-10,000.

[normxb]

About 5-6,000 in the wifes ED (cheaper to run)
1,200 in my XF wagon
40 Kilometres in my XB

I live in a small town 3 blocks from the main st. that helps

Brother-in-law in Canberra did 1.3 mill K's in 14 yrs (2 motors) XF Falcon but then again it was a Cab & he had 2 relief drivers :nutsycuck

[GUTLES]

XF - 37000 - drives 110 return trip to work 6 days a week & a bit of running around..
EF - 25000 - the family car..
AU - 15000 - was driven mainly on weekends..

Mmmm yeah, I like driving ;)

[goXF]

average about 12,000 a year - mainly on weekends - the good xf has just had it's 125,000 service! Genuine K's!

[RavenLS1]

10k-20k for me.

[Full Noise]

I probably average between 4500 to 5000 km’s a week, or roughly 250,000 a year.

Dude, doing what?

Assuming 10 hrs of work a day at 70km per hour, thats 700km per day or 3500km per week.

Not sure if your amount is possible.

Danny has the same job as me (terrorising motorists with a B-double) and 250.000 a year is about average these days.
Although I think Danny goes all over the place - not unlike his driving - I only drive from near the Vic Border to the Qld border 5 times a fortnight.

What? For starters, I don’t know what a 10 hour day is, however, I’ll give you an example. Eastern suburbs to western suburbs of Melbourne, 38 kms. Laverton to Narrandera then to Leeton then back to Melbourne, around 990 kms. Laverton back to eastern suburbs, another 38 kms, so that’s 1066 kms and that is just for tonight. I work six nights a week, although some nights I might only do around 700 kms and on other occasions I may not work the Saturday so as you can see it’s quite possible.

Cheers, Danny

Geez Danny, I only do a 10hr day...well 10 1/2 if you count my regulation legal enforced half hour break.

Roger.

[Smoked]

Ok.
If figured you might be a truckie, but 250k sounded to be alot, thanks for clarifying.

[sven]

i do about 18000 a year

[Mechan1k]

I don't do as much as the truckies out there ... but I mainly cover the Sydney metro area when doing courier work ... on average that can be 300-400km for the day.

Then I can do the odd country job here and there (longest run was a 1700km round trip - overnight next day).

And when travelling to and from my Optus office job ... I travel from Kurrajong to Chatswood ... so that round trip is 150km for the day (as I live 75km from work).

So I have varied distances ... depends on work and where I get sent.

Last year I only managed 60,000km ... but for the first part fo the year I didn't do that much in the way of courier work .... i think this coming year I will have many more added to that.

I'd rather do 4000k's out here on the highway than 400 in Syd traffic.
You deserve a medal for just putting up with Morris's wonderfull traffic system, not to mention all the courteous drivers there!

[Mechan1k]

I avoid the Cross Sh1tty Tunnel like the plague.
LOL.

I don't mind metro ... I am used to Sydney traffic ... I thought it was full of bad drivers ... untile I went to Melbourne .... JEEEEEEZUS. I was shocked at the amount of people that can't drive at all down there. Sydney traffic seems civilised and somewhat educated ... LOL (except for "most" of city taxi drivers though).

I'd rather do country mileage as well ... metro is not too bad though (in a ute that is ... dunno about a truck). Inner city ... well ... it's survival of the fitest in there somedays.

It takes it's toll though ... the ute needs very regular servicing ... my 60,000km per year wear and tear is much different from country 60,000km wear and tear.

I do a monthly oil change (filter every 2 months) ... transmission service nearly every 2nd month ... brake pads seem to last me 6months/30,000km ... luckily my 17" tyres have lasted me 50,000km so far and I still have plenty left on them. Coolant flush every 3 months.

It's not cheap really ... I do get discounts though ... but it still adds up ... and so do tolls ... thank God I am running LPG ... otherwise I'd need to take a loan out to afford any other form of fuel.

[Steffo]

Approx 500km/week. That's approx 26,000/year.

Sometimes more, sometimes less. Depends.
