I'm curious. How many miles a year do some of you average? I know gas is more expensive over there, does it get balanced by other things to justify how much fun it is to drive?

Thanks,

Average mileage in the UK is consider to be between 10,000 to 12,000 miles.

In my last car I averaged about 26,000 miles a year, while my current car is about 11,000 miles. (Change of job roles)

Petrol is more expensive , but like with all things, you get use to them.

Oh....and we have turbos and lot's of twisty roads!!!

About 16 thousand at the end of my first year. I tried hard not to drive so much but couldn't help it...

Hi,

I'm doing about 20k a year. My car's on 110k miles now and still going strong. I expect to keep it another few years so will ensd up with about 170K on it by the time I sell/px . Work pays for SUL , so no worries there...

JoeyDeacon

I have only had the car 7 months so far but averaging it out over 12 months I will have done 11000 miles.

Is that what you call a waste??

My car is 23 months old nearly, and has 36500 miles on it loved every minute too

You guys are quick with the responses. Thanks!

That's about the same mileage for me. Who'd a thought.

Thanks for rubbin' it in Andy. As ugly as everyone says it is won't stop me from getting our version of the WRX. Like someone else said, you can't see it from the inside

No probs...

I guess if they were not as fun to drive, we would not be as willing to do the miles

I only do about 8000 miles a year. I must be in a minority group or something.

Mind you, work is only 1.5 miles away and the car only gets used on weekends.

By car, it takes me approx. 3 minutes to get to work (or 4 minutes if the lollypop lady stops me )

Steve

Dave T-S

34000 a year between our two MY00 turbos (twice as much on Carolyn's ha ha)

Had the car 8 weeks, done 7000 miles. You do the math.
