36 mile round trip commuting to work per day, probably about 20 for the entire weekend due to constant decorating

This time last year, in my courier days, I averaged circa 400 miles per day Mon - Fri.

Weekends I seem to cover a couple of hundred 'fun' miles

Ive been there. It worked out cheaper to help the other half buy a car then move her down.

Now i average about 25 miles a day if i use the car or it does 1.8 miles a day if my good lady takes it to work.

Miles are not a problem for me, the old girl is coming on 84k now and still wiping the floor with Poorly priced performance new age travellers, my average is 240 miles per week and weekends its hardly ever used due to the wifes 206 sw being sat outside doing nowt

Not too much longer to go then. I remember the countdown to my other half moving down. It'll soon be here.

typical week in the life of my P1

monday - wednesday 40miles going to work and seeing the loverly lady
thursday 80 mile round trip for uni and then home to bed
friday - sunday is anyones guess but this weekend it has been filled up twice. (mr shell loves me )
on average it gets filled up 3 times a week, this has so far equated to 7500miles in 3.5months of ownership (and now its next service).

I do 40 miles a day at the moment.

Hmm, 40 miles a day = 13440 a year, and my 18 month old WRX has done 26k... thats about 6k over what I should have done!

That will be my 2 trips to France in June then!

Last week managed to park up at 6.45am monday and not move it 'til 5.30pm friday evening. G/F has a rental at the mo' on someone elses insurance so we're hammering that Usual is 60 miles a week for work, maybe another 40 domestic and (moreso in summer) anything upto 300 pleasure although during winter that'll be almost 0

In summer I use a tank a week (£40) but recently it's dropped off to less than half that

Anyway, normally do about 10 miles per day, although have managed 550 miles in a day once, followed by 250 miles the next day.

Hence why I bought a diesel

The scoob is my daily commuter, so if I'm just going to the office and back its about 120 miles per day. If I go out on site, can go up to 150 per day.

The fuel bill is quite shocking after my previous car (PD150 Golf GTi)

Over the 15 months we've had the car, we've averaged 27 miles / day
and then it's the second car, which we never seem to use

Where the hell do all these miles come from?

Only 4 miles a day to and from work, 30 miles at most on a weekend. Saving on fuel, expensive on insurance I guess
