How many miles do you drive per year?
I am going to hit 115,000 miles on the 328Ci on the drive home.
Since I posted about hitting 100,000 here just a touch over 2 years go, that means I am averaging a hair under 7,500 miles per year. According to the US DOT, the average male my age drives about 18,000 miles per year. I am very happy to be below average.

I estimate we do about 20k/yr combined across our three cars. Trying to figure out my mileage is trickier as I split time across all three. But I estimate I only do about 13k/yr.

Hard to say. Too many cars, some coming, some going.
But I think we put about 6K miles on the Mini from 1/11 to 1/12. And we put about 7K miles on the BMW in the c. 1 year we've had it. And we've put about 8900 miles on the Porsche in a bit over two years. So, add that up, and you get about 17,500 between my wife and I. She rarely drives the Porsche, so I guess it's 6500 for her and 11,000 for me? That seems wrong, somehow. |

Much less now that I work from home several days a week. I'm probably down to under 15K/year now.

Gobs of miles.
I have over a million miles in my garage. Just to CA and back: 2,500 +/- A summer weekend drive - I have a loop that is about 400 miles. A nice long day. And some wonderful roads.

It was about 25k per year until recently. Estimating 10-12k going forward.

I do anywhere from 12k to 14k on my car -- mostly commuting.
My wife (who works at home) does about 9k a year on her car. But we mostly use her car on weekends and for road trips. I probably am in the drivers seat for about half of those miles...
