How many kms do you do in a month?

princemanatt · 2nd November 2009, 12:55

I drive around 1800 kms in a month. It can go up slightly on some months when we go for out of hte town trips.

sushrutha · 2nd November 2009, 15:59

Almost 2300kms/month in Car(s) + around 200kms/month on bike.

I drive around 1200 - 1500 kms per month. hence fall in the popular category. ie, 500 - 1500

T-BHP taking more and more of your time??

1999-2009:
1. TVS MAX 100: 50000 KM's
2. BAJAJ BOXER: 40000 KM's
3. BAJAJ PULSAR(SOLD): 40000 KM's
4. TATA SUMO: 25000 KM's
5. TOYOTA QUALIS: 10000 KM's
6. MARUTI WAGON R(2 -1 TOTALLED, 1 SOLD): 60000 KM's
7. FIAT PALIO (P): 35000 KM's
8. FIAT PALIO (D): 30000 KM's
2,4 and 5 - office vehicles.

About 29000 kms per year / 2500 kms per month.

Mostly work related. Plus, within South India, I prefer to drive( except if a time- and cost-effective train alternative is available.)

Cheers

So the real question IMO is how many kms do you do in your car/bike or in total. Would like to break up in terms of kms usage PM-

500 kms in my car over the weekend
500 kms in my bike both weekdays/ end
500 kms using public transport during mostly on weekdays

Earlier all the kms were done mostly by my car but since the petrol prices went up the other ratios increased!

throttleking · 12th December 2011, 15:43

800+ mostly, sometimes it is 1200 max. Of course I am considering normal months when there is no vacation / highway-drives.

heman_369 · 12th December 2011, 15:50

on an average about 800 kms a month without any long drives. Total in a year with long drives would be in the range of 12-15 k

arun_josie · 12th December 2011, 16:19

In my current diesel car I am doing around 2200 per month(This is an average of 7.5 months which includes long drives). When it was a petrol car, I was doing around 1000Km per month(average of 5 years ownership).

windsurfer · 12th December 2011, 17:15

I am doing about 1300 KM/month in Vento. I used to do the same with my Palio earlier.

shashank.nk · 12th December 2011, 17:16

Our primary car does about 1000 to 1500 km/month, the other does hardly any say 200kms a months. I do about 500-800 kms on my bike.

carheadbanger · 12th December 2011, 17:52

It runs around 400-500 kms a month

amalji · 12th December 2011, 17:59

After switching to diesel, I've covered 4500 kms in a month. Diesel is so easy on the pocket for people who love to drive and travel a lot.

torquecurve · 12th December 2011, 18:32

I do between 2000-3000 kms a month.
Office commute contributes 50 - 55 Kms per day. + Weekend driving + Other errands!

And I own a Petrol

vasanthn21 · 12th December 2011, 19:03

On an average about 670 kms/month.

Office commute is about 500 kms. Rest is errands + weekend usage. But, off late it seems to be increasing. Trying to convince myself to buy a diesel.
