What is your daily commute (mileage) in the rx8?

I'm talking work, school, errands, etc.

I might have to be putting 40 miles a day on my rx8 starting in April

In 265 days since I bought the car, I've put 4,000 miles on it, or an average of 15 miles per day.

But since it's not my daily driver, that figure is misleading. I usually only drive it on weekends, and with winter here, not at all for about the next 3 months. (Sniff!)

I'm in the Explorer until the spring rains come and wash away the salt and sand from the road.

Oh thats nice.

I let me girlfriend drive mine to work during the week (i take her accord). My work is 40 miles round trip, hers is 20. Save 100 miles a week this way as well as gas $.....but i absolutely HATE letting her drive it. I HATE IT! She knows how much i love that car so she knows to be careful. I just hope she doesnt pull a Ferris Buellers Day Off and snap one day w/ jealous rage...

Weekends ave. about 40-50 miles. I rarely take my 8 out of city limits. Im closing in on 50k miles (04 MT).

Subway to work, so zero commuting miles for me. Mostly just weekend trips on twisty roads in the country.
