    How many miles do you typically drive a week? :hux:

    I've just gone through a ton of miles since I got back, though it's not been so bad since gas prices have gone down for the winter. When I worked in the summer, I drove about 40 miles every day between commuting and lunch. Ouch!

    Maybe 100-200 km's because miles are stupid.

    Sometimes more if I have a trip of some kind going on.

    I've been clocking upwards of 75-100 miles/week in Virginia, which is more than I ever averaged at college. Of course I'll also have the occasional extreme week with like 500 miles, but that's generally only once every couple of months.

    According to what I filed with my insurance company I drive <10 miles a week and that's the story I'm sticking with.

    0 miles

    I go back and forth to NYC everyday. Cars are not necessary there.

    I don't drive, but my school is about 66km from my city/house/whatever. So I bus about 528km a week (probably closer to around 700km though with local buses and stuff ).

    Yep.

    My average is 570 per week, and that's if I don't do unnecessary driving.

    I barely drive anymore since I moved into the city. I even sold my car and got a motorbike, and even then I've only managed to wrack up 1100km's this year. I've only had time to ride it to university (which is also in the city).

    However, a couple of months ago I came off my bike and I haven't had time to fix it.

    Last week I drove around 450 miles. But that's not really normal (it's not abnormal either). I'd say when I'm in LA, average is like 100 miles a week, and when I'm up in SF, it's more like 15 miles a week. ty thing about LA is that even a 5 mile drive can leave you on the freeway for half an hour.

    I chose to not get a licence back when I turned 18 and everyone else got one.
    - I just don't need a car, and more importantly I can't afford a car. Public transport is more than fine, and other than that I just walk or cycle.
