How many kms (in total) have you driven?

The Rationalist · 5th November 2015, 22:30

If one takes an approximation of average speed at 60kms/hr, then one would need 1 year to drive/ride 500,000 kms and 2 years to drive/ride 1 million kms! Envy you guys, I will never be able to clock a million miles in a life time. I have never travelled to study/work , except for one year, I was always put up inside campus/quarters. I have clocked around 150,000 kms. All you guys out there, while you all clock big miles, never forego safety of yours and others on road.Wish you all a million miles and miles to drive/ride before you all sleep!

Bajaj Caliber - 10,000
Bajaj Caliber 115 - 35,000
Bajaj P150 DTSi - 25,000
Bajaj P180 DTSi - 18,000

Maruti 800 - 15,000
Maruti WagonR (current ride) - 12,000

Total - 1,15,000 kms (11 years)

I am slowly warming up with my monthly running of around 800-1000 kms. Planning some long trips in the months ahead.

Esu Junior · 5th November 2015, 23:20

My odometer share starts of with dad's

1.Premier padmini (KLZ-8030) 1000 kms, from where I learnt driving.
2.Maruti omni (KL-11-D-4600) 40000 kms.
3.Santro (KL-11-L-2323) 70000 kms.

Now comes to my own set of wheels and became a t-bhp member.

4.Honda city (KL-56-A-9393) 36000kms.
5.Ford figo (KL-56-C-2323) 103700kms.
6.Duster (KL-56-K-5353) 18300kms.

so a total of 269000kms......

Total mileage of cars I have I have used till date over last 23 years from purchase date to date I hand over to staff or other employees for their travel needs is 9.6 lakh km.
Adding some amount of driving friends relatives and other cars, I expect I have just crossed a million km, or will do so in the next few months.

TorqueyTechie · 6th November 2015, 00:01

Total mileage I have driven is approximately ~270000 kms. Given below is the breakup.
TVS scooty : 5000 kms
Bajaj Chetak : 5000 kms
Bajaj Pulsar : 52000 kms
Omni : 18000 kms (approx)
Alto : 92000 kms (approx)
Fiat Palio : 9800 kms
Misc : 10000 kms (This is the number of kms approximately I have driven on my friends/relatives cars)

Driving in US : Close to 80000 kms.

4x4power · 6th November 2015, 01:21

Around 20000 kms in car and 10000 kms in two wheeler. Pretty inexperienced I think I am.

subbarp · 6th November 2015, 08:00

For me the total is about 180,000 km:

Toyota Corolla (2006): 86000 km
Hyundai Santro (1999): 82000 km
Bajaj Chetak (in 90s): 10000 km

tharian · 6th November 2015, 09:00

My drive experience in a 4 wheeler is low since I ride a lot although I equally enjoy both.

Bullet 350- 1,07,000 kms
Bullet 500(sold)- 50,000 kms
Maruti 800(sold)- 20,000 kms
Ford Figo- 40,000 kms

Not including the friends/relatives cars and bikes used over time.

It would be interesting to see a professional driver's numbers on this subject.

BeantownThinker · 6th November 2015, 09:49

Very interesting thread.

My tally so far, beginning from 1997:

Suzuki Samurai : ~40,000 km (1997 - 2005)
TATA Indica : ~1,30,000 km (2004 - till date)
TATA Manza : 60,000 km (2010 - 2015)
Hyundai Verna : 3,000 km (2015 - till date)

So that's a total of 2,33,000 km. Damn, that's a lot of riding / driving! And this does not include the drives / rides of cars / bikes of friends.

And not one trip more than 350 kms one-way!!! I have been commuting too much to office. Need a break and a looooong drive just for the heck of it!!!

mayankk · 6th November 2015, 09:52

Zen : 30k over 10 years
RX : 50k over 4 years
P180 : 30k over 14 years

Santro : 60k over 15 years
Fiesta : 75k over 5 years
Tucson :30k over 2 years

2.75L in 18 years! Just about to the moon.
Wow, never realized it!

chandrda · 6th November 2015, 10:27

I voted as less than Million and then started calculating. Its more than a million

Thanks for this thread and making me calculate -

TVS Astra - 60,000
RX100 - 2,00,000
RX135 - 2,85,000
800 - 1,50,000
Van (3) - 3,00,000
Scorpio - 70,000
Palio - 85,000

I have not taken in account the Ambassador, Fiat 1100 in which I learnt driving and friends car/bike which I have driven.

Couple of Months back I had calculated how much time I have wasted in commute to/fro from Airport, time in Airport and in Flight itself. I have wasted around 6 months

Regards
