How many kms do you do in a month?

rg_chn · 16th August 2009, 18:15

My office-home-office commute is around 70 kms, and on sunday's i do around 120 kms, 2160 kms. Give or take a few.

Daily office commute is 25Kms (round trip) = around 500+ Kms
Weekend drive varies so maybe 120Kms in a month.

So usually some where in the range of 600 Kms / Month.
Mostly car, if spirits are high/or too low I take bike.

However the whole equation changes "If" I have a trip to my native.
Trip to home = lot of driving.

So in a single trip to my home town I usually clock my entire month's "range" in the matter of 1-2days.

If this is not a typo error, you're surely a taxi driver working day and night, most probably Meru/Easycabs taxi airpot-city-airport driver.

42500 Kms in 39 months = 1089 Kms in a month for me. (2+ years in Bangalore, 1 year in Kerala.)

Do around 100~120 kms a day, averaging 3500 kms a month. Powered by MJD.

Average 1100-1500 km per month in the Scorpio
the Swift doesnt do much -maybe 400 km or so MAX on average

kannan666 · 17th August 2009, 09:53

An average of around 1800kms per month, all my vehicles put together !

appuchan · 17th August 2009, 10:07

I drive an average of 15 kms a day for four trips, including my lunch breaks at home.

leadf00t · 17th August 2009, 11:25

about 1600 to 1700 km per month for me.
Its not the petrol/LPG bills that kill me. its the stupid Mumbai entry/exit points tolls that kills me. bloody 1200 bucks every month on crossing a stupid non existant boundry.

I generally don't use my bike/car on weekdays.

I use the office van for commuting to Electronics City since driving on Hosur Road in peak hour traffic is very risky and strenuous.

I use my rides only on the weekends. My monthly running (car and bike combined) would be less than 400 kms.

If we are also considering the distance traveled on foot (morning jogs/evening walks), you can add another 150 kms to my monthly mileage.

With the kind of traffic situation we have in Bangalore, I always prefer to walk rather than use the bike/car for short distances. It keeps you fit, plus you don't have to worry about the traffic cops / traffic jams / red lights / parking space.

I do about 1500Km in a month.

Ardy · 17th August 2009, 14:11

Let me put it this way, my cars do about 1500-1750 Kms a month. Of this about 10-15% is driven by my dad.

nnandi · 17th August 2009, 14:27

I do 1250km/month (approx) in my Honda city for home-office-home.
Other car (Wagon R), use it only on weekends if I am going for work within city, so probably ~350km/month

sgiitk · 17th August 2009, 14:33

I do about 7000-8000km a year on each of my cars. While the Accent is 80%+ highway the Santro is 100% local.
