How many kms do you do in a month? - Team-BHP

Rayden · 17th April 2006, 14:32

I thought it will be nice to know the AVERAGE number of kilometers you road travel in a month by car or bike (not including buses unless you drive them).

I personally do around 1500 kms per month.

GTO · 17th April 2006, 15:32

My own driving is about 2000 kms a month. However, all our four cars combined do about 7000 kms / month.

After buying scorpio have done 8600 in the last four months.. so average stands at 2150kms per month.

revharder · 17th April 2006, 15:41

i personally drives about 1700-1800 kms per month in NCR only.
sometimes it goes upto 2500 kms if some outstation driving is needed.

no need to mention about the driving pattern of others in the family or that of chauffeur!

abdriver2000 · 17th April 2006, 15:42

Bike: 1400km/month
Car: 900km/month

Beeman · 17th April 2006, 15:43

my elantra does about 1500+ a month sometimes a little less too........actually my average just came out to 1200 a month so i guess i voted wrong!!!
sorry chaps

As of now my office commute is about 100 meters

, therefore I don't even drive to work. But I still chose 500-1500 because I figure I will do leisure driving around that much.

speedsatya · 17th April 2006, 16:00

like samurai ,my office is also less than 100 metres away from my room..still i average about 2k kms a month ....as i do atleast one bangalore-mangalore -bangalore drive once a month ..

tsk1979 · 17th April 2006, 16:08

Distances in delhi ensure 2000-3000kms in a month. Some months is is 2000-2500, but mostly its been 2500-3000kms a month. Good I have a diesel!

nitrous · 17th April 2006, 16:25

Around 2000 kms per month on average.

aZa · 17th April 2006, 17:31

Around 2K a month easily ... all in NCR, never gone out of station in the xing

cowiee · 17th April 2006, 17:46

i do around 13000k's amonth, its all in city n the that too the once upon garden city of bangalore.

tsk1979 · 17th April 2006, 17:58

13000 a month?? For that you have to drive 400+ kms a day. Are you a taxi driver, or Auto wallah

akroy · 17th April 2006, 18:03

400+ / month that too in a city like bangalore which is very small compared to the metros. Even the taxi and autowallahs will have problems doing it !!!!

Is that a typo error ???

iraghava · 17th April 2006, 18:24

I do about 4000-6000 kms a month depending on work requirements. Most of this is due to my weekly travellling between Moradabad & Delhi at times I make 3 trips a week which equals to a 1000 kms in itself. Also while in Delhi my average commute even on a Sunday is atleast 100-150 kms.
