How much mileage do you average a week?
I was wondering what is the average mileage people put on their trucks here, I got my license 3 weeks ago and have driven 2100 miles, and was wondering if that is average, above or below?

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 25-Aug-01 AT 08:57 AM (EST)[/font][p]Son, that's 700 miles a week!!! Where in the world you do you go!? I'd say that's way above average. I probably average around 100 or so a week. Most of it is from boredom though. Just casual joy riding in the evenings. But still....700 miles...geesh.....

Please don't pull out in front of me! The last thing I want to do is play identify the pieces with you or your car.

I don't drive for a living, but I do spend a lot of time traveling around the south east for my job, visiting job sites. I don't start working until I get there. For the last four years I averaged slightly over 1000 miles a week. This year, for the first six months (26 weeks) I did 44,000 miles. Fun, huh?

Right now we have about a 12 mile one way trip to work. My girlfreind and I carpool because she only works 3 minutes away from me. After we move in a couple of weeks it will increase to a 60 to 70 mile one way trip into the cities. 10 miles of that is just getting to the main freeway from the backroads!!

How much mileage do you average a week?
lol i'd like to drive more, but CT is a small state and I've only lived here a year so i don't know my way around that much. My job is about 3 miles away so that's not too bad. I always take the long way though, i just love driving. But i don't like 11 mpg around town 
I prefer highway driving, i get a lot better gas mileage and the truck seems to like it more. Most of my driving is just for pleasure and I've averaged 7 hundred miles a week for the past three weeks.

How much mileage do you average a week?
With gas prices the way they are, I drive my F250 supercab long bed 4x4 460 as little as possible. Over the past 5 years of ownership I have driven my truck about 30,000 miles, so that is 6,000 per year average, but in reality I probably have put only 3-4K on it on average over the past 3 years.
For reference, I have at times averaged 24K per year, occasionaly hitting 2,500 in a week on business trips. Now I average about 15K a year on my car, mostly commuting.
FWIW,
