Well, the Atlanta office is 75 mile round trip and the my major client is 28 mile round trip. Depending on the mix of which place I'm headed, I would say probably ~350 miles a week at the most.

I don't know... When I did commute a lot, it was like 200-400/week. (Regular commute of about 25 miles + night trips into Portland which added another 45; those were frequent to infrequent)

Even when I used to go out 6-7 times a week in Seattle and drive everywhere, it was only adding up to 200 miles/week because I wasn't far from anything. Of course, my gas mileage was horrendous because I drove like a maniac. So, I still had to fill up every week.

Now? Eh, I barely drive the damn thing on a regular basis. Maybe 5-10 miles a week. But, I still make trips to Portland every few weeks and so that adds 400+ miles (I live in Seattle now). Also, I travel with my car and that adds thousands of miles. (Went to SF and LA in September. That added 3,000+ miles in 12 days.)

I'm looking at over 6,000 miles in what will be a 3-4 week 'vacation'. (Going down to Texas) So, that will also up the mileage quite a bit.

It's complicated...

Wow, we have a nice bell curve on the poll results.
Nice poll options!

I'm assuming by motorcar.

My car has seen not quite 10k miles over 2 years, so around 5k miles per year, which makes around 100 miles per week.

I was doing ~300/wk for work for about a year because I got this job just before moving. Then we moved back after making a small profit on the house we bought and now I'm at ~70/wk.

Thinking about moving somewhere in between now, so it will probably go up to 150-200/wk in the next year.

I doubled my commute when I moved to the city I live in now 4.5 years ago.

I'm driving 4 miles each way....so I drive 40 miles per week for my commute! Weekends, I usually don't have to drive because my wife always wants to put miles on her car.

I drive 343 miles a week just to and from work. Not sure how much I drive outside of that but it's not a whole lot.

I just calculated it to be over 350 a week. My commute really isn't that bad though, I am constantly moving and get stuck in traffic for maybe only 10 mins of the 50 mins.

Fluctuates. Some weeks I drive 400, some I drive 0. Depends on whether or not I have to go to a client, how many days I have to go there, and whether or not I can work from home.

Over the course of an entire year I probably drive 13,000 miles when you include business and personal driving which is 250 miles per week.

280km give or take (about 170mi for those still using the children's system). 20km to work each way, Sundays I go bow shooting at the range, which is across from my work. I shoot hockey in Saturdays, which is also about a 40km round trip from my house. However, I don't do it every weekend.

most weeks, 200

Last year when I had to take lil rudeguy to school it was 65 miles a day, so roughly 350 miles a week. I am very glad I don't have to do that anymore.

I drive 0. I walk to work, and I take the subway if I need to go somewhere farther.

Don't even own a car. My transportation costs are around $20/month.

its not the childrens system, its way more advanced than the babyish "everything is divisible by 10" metric system

1-20 cause I go out with family on weekends at least, and I have a once-weekly thing at night.

I walk to work but drive to the gym...go figure. Generally less than 20 miles a week though.

I vote to change the last option to "over 9000".

thats impossible, theres no way that can be done. you would have to drive 21 hours a day for 7 days straight in order to go over 9000 miles in a week.
