Default Re: How many k's do you do in a year?

Normally 20,000 25,000 a year in my own car and more then 25,000 a year in the work cars.

Due to me wanting to save my money, and getting a promotion at work which requires less car driving, both of those figures will drop slightly over the next year.

I noticed today one of the Prados at work has done over 330,000Kms in less then 2 years. Not a bad effort really. But that is shared between 200 odd drivers.

In my own cars I do maybe 10,000;
Work car I reckon 25,000 to be conservative;
Sisters car probably 15,000.

So 1+1=~50,000/yr.

Default Re: How many k's do you do in a year?

My 4 and a half year old Territory has done 188,000
My 9 and a half year old Subaru has just turned over 401,000
The old Rodeo ute goes about 4,000 a year,
and the XM just gets a little light exercise every month or so, maybe a thousand or so a year.

I have a rural roadside mail delivery contract with Aust Post.

I have averaged over 7600 miles a year in the XW since it was registered some 8 and a bit years ago... or 12 250 kilometers +++ a year in new money... Which is pretty good, considering for the last 5 years I've had a motor-bicycle to do all the work for it...
