I drive 75 miles a day(round trip) to work but only three days a week. The nearest store is 9 miles away so a gas saver is a must!!

While my campus is only a mile from my place, over the course of the week I average about 30/day when all is said and done. Going to get food, groceries, random running about on weekends adds up.

I voted over 126 miles per day.

Currently I can telecommute one day a week, but my normal commute to work is 80 miles one way, so I'm doing 160 miles four times a week. Damn you crappy MI economy!

I didn't vote b/c the poll really doesnt cover me, and I don't want to screw up your count. I drive for a living as a long haul trucker, so never in the same place everyday. Average day for me is about 500-700 miles per day.

200-300 miles a day @ .485 mileage reimbursement. After tires, gas, etc. the rest is toy money. Used to be 400+.

In dense-traffic areas with stop-and go driving, though, you have to consider that there is often a big difference in miles between what the engine sees and what the wheels and odometer see.....and the transmission and brakes, of course, get a lot more wear also.

You'd also lose about 10lbs in weight each day in the summer.

50mi RT. i am not concerned about gas price, i care more about putting all these miles on my car just to commute to work

i rather keep it low miles and use it once a while for road trips

11 miles to work each way. add in additional couple of miles to the store and restraunts, and carting the kids around it goes up to 30-40

My commute is about 40, then going to the gym, running errands - I'd say about 70 miles per day
