one full year in a few weeks, 13k on my car, bout 1000 a month I suppose.

It's not my primary car though.

tiggerlee 01-28-2007 07:45 PM

Haha ok so I bought the 8 in October 2004. Traded her in in August 2006 with 11,750 miles on it. That's about 6000 miles per year or around 500 miles per month.

Bought the GTO in August 2006 with 1,700 miles on it. Currently has close to 6000 miles on it now. So that's about 860 miles driven per month.

expo1 01-28-2007 08:04 PM

I do about 2,400 miles a month.

04 bought in 2/2004 which now has about 84,300 on it.

ZoomZoomH 01-28-2007 08:12 PM

I don't know how many miles I average per month, but I drive about 23000 miles per year. Which I guess translates into 1916 miles a month? damn i drive a lot lol

my car currently has 49899 miles, 101 more til I cross into the 'good luck, you're on your own now' territory lol :Eyecrazy:

kartweb 01-28-2007 08:17 PM

About 1500 miles a month on the 8 and 1500 miles a month on the CX7.

I'll be driving the 7 a good bit more since I'm rackin miles faster then I want to on the 8.

tdiddy 01-28-2007 08:24 PM

I have 19900 on my 8 which works out to about 475 miles a month.

A little over 18000 miles over 30 months of ownership works out to about 600 miles a month. But my 8 is parked for about 4 months out of the year too, so it would be a lot higher if that wasn't the case.

TKE Tails 01-28-2007 09:14 PM

I put over 19,000 miles on it in the first year. :Eyecrazy: Looks I will be buying this car when the lease is up.

HolyCross05 01-28-2007 09:17 PM

Almost 1300 a month, 15.5k a year and it's my second car.

jzief128 01-28-2007 09:25 PM

About 32.8 miles per day, 984 miles per month, and 11972.3 miles per year. As an engineer, I tend to keep track of every number I can crunch in Excel.

1250 miles per month & this is in a country smaller than California with very few motorways . Most of it is around town .

YT1300 01-28-2007 09:36 PM

11K kms in about 15 months. Very sad, indeed.

CTrx8 01-28-2007 09:47 PM

car just hit the 40k mark but that was all the previous driver. in the 6 months i've had it i've put on about 1500 miles. i need to get out more. of course it also helps that my main commute to work is about 5 miles round trip.

encorez 01-28-2007 09:53 PM

Of course MPG wouldn't matter to you.

ken-x8 01-28-2007 09:58 PM

I do about 10,000 to 12,000 miles a year on my own car, a few thousand on my wife's car, and probably a couple of thousand on rental cars.

In the six months I've had my 8, I've put just under 6,000 miles on it.

Tirminyl 01-28-2007 10:00 PM

24k a year or 2k a month.

61.0 miles per day, 1855.4 miles per month, and 22277.1 miles per year. Another Excel obsessed engineer.

(I need a daily driver...)

shinka213 01-28-2007 10:26 PM

lets see....the rx8 is not my daily driver but i will drive it to work occasionly....

5k average per year for the RX8
13k average per year for the B9

i dont drive the 8 in the rain or snow or if there's a threat of either...:D:
i spend a lot of time on the highway (work travel) ...the suv actually gets better mileage

:)

well, b/c it's cold and i have to warm up my car and then it's a short commute, my mpg would be pretty bad. i think i'm averaging about 16mpg b/c of it. but i've already said it doesn't matter to me b/c work pays for it. so whether i drove 10 miles or 10k miles each month it doesn't matter to me. was there a point? :Freak_ani

paulmasoner 01-28-2007 10:44 PM

Just hit 11K the other day before i got ran over. Barely had it over 4 months! And i live on a freakin island!!, you can drive around oahu in less than 4 hours!
