How many KMs do you drive in a year.
« on: May 26, 2008, 11:46:53 am »
I was going through the maintainence log of the Dakota on the weekend and was amazed that I only put about 8k kms on it for the year.

Family of four. Numerous road trips through the Praries and into BC too. I was amazed at the low totals.

The past year:

Dakota: 8k kms
Volvo V70R 16k kms
Volvo P1800 2k kms

Mountain bike ??

How much do you drive?

13000km/yr average for the Vibe.
3000km on the Yam last year, likely twice that this year.
750km or so on the Trek, likely higher this year.

We put ~30,000 km/year on our car with the majority of them being highway miles for skiing, cottaging & family.

Car - 30,000 / year - don't drive to work.
Bicycles - 7,000 / year - Work bike gets 80% of the miles. Road bike only gets ridden on sunny days.

About 30,000 on the Pathfinder, 80% business/20% personal, much less on the Sienna.  This is based on the 3 1/2 yrs I have had the Pathy but it looks to be more for this year   :(

But with the cost of fuel, we will be doing less personal kms on the Pathy and transferring those to the Sienna as it has lower operating costs.

After almost 9 months the Versa has about 9200 km's on it, including a couple of trips to Alberta and the Kootenays. We seldom drive more than we have to - no summer cottage, you know  :'( - so my average is usually 12,000 km's per year, it should be about the same this year.

I put on 12-13k per year on the Murano, almost entirely weekend city driving (a lot on the DVP, which I consider city due to the speed of 4km/h averaged)
