anything from 100 kms a week to a 1000 depending on where i gotta go and what I gotta do, the sad part about it is I really cant keep a tab on it either because Im not always driving my own car, sometimes its our Territory or our EX BA Futura which I put about 15,000 kms on.

I do 35kms each way to work, so that's 350 a week, plus weekends. Say 500 - 600 per week, split between 2 cars. But then the missus probably does another 150 per week in hers too. No wonder I'm always filling the bloody things up!

In my own car probably 150-200 a week, depending if I'm at work or trade school and what I do on the weekends.
I do a fair bit at work in work's cars, but don't really pay attention to it. |

Depends ... about 400-500km a week on average.
If I get some time off from my main job ... I work my other job more (part time courier) ... and then I can do nearly 400km in a day. I have driven nearly 4000km in one week before ... including work and recreation.

varies....
for work I do anywhere from 1000 - 1500kms, then by the weekend I try not to even THINK about driving (but if there's something on possibly another 200km+ is not unheard of) Some of the guys on here can prob understand why I'm not overly keen on cruises now. lol |
