Question Average of use per day of your 964, how many KM's or Miles?

The question is, How many do you use your 964 per day or week?
I tought I would be interesting to know and to see which countries drive the most.

For me, The Netherlands, I use my car every day, aprox. 15 miles per day and for the weekend a extra 50 miles. So, that would be a 125 Miles per week.

Let's go.......

Mainly weekends, with the odd long trip thrown in. I average around 100 miles per week.

An interesting question. I think the P-cars are built to be driven, snow, rain, mile after mile.
Our 88 951 has 104 K miles (70 K of which are mine) and our 90 964 targa has 100 K (60 K of which are my wife's) miles.

My guess is they will go for another 100 K miles.

I drive the 951 25 miles a day, more on weekends, down from the past five years where it was 100 miles a day, and less on weekends.

My wife drives the 964 about 20 miles a day and much more (100-200 miles) on weekends.

You need keep in mind though, gas is relatively cheap in the US, as is insurance and tolls, and for many, car taxes too. My guess (?) is used cars are relatively cheap in the US as well.

FWIW, my 91 Volvo 940 Turbo wagon (aka estate) has 170 K miles (all mine) and runs nearly as good as the day it came off the boat (from Belgium). The 94 toyota supra tt has 22 K miles so not every ride in the drive is a high miler.

I use my 964 every day.

7 miles a day Monday to Friday but I probably average 75 miles every weekend.

110 miles a week.

Not used so much now as a few years back, due to diminishing free time.

Still manage about 8K miles per year, but it's done on an infrequent weekend/holiday basis.

Can't commute in it, so it only really gets used at the weekends. Probably 50 miles in the average weekend.

Hopfully it'll get to go to some nice ski resorts soon, so a few more miles there!

I work from home, so the car sits in the garage most days. Just think, if more people did that, we'd have less congestion and less pollution (rant over).

In total, I do around 8000 miles a year in the 964, and enjoy every one of them!

Cheers

I've averaged around 7k miles per year on my '91 C2 cab, just about all of it on weekend jaunts and vacations.

Keith,

The fuel costs overhere about 4,20 US $ per Gallon.....................
In September I was in California at Randall and Eva Granaas their '' Casa" , and paid for my rental 1,40 US $ for a Gallon. Also on the trip to Las Vegas was it everywhere almost the same. And every American in complaining............

We have to take care a little, no cruising all day long as you may understand.

I store my car during the winter but when it's nice out, I use it 90% for track events and 10% for everyday driving. Somehow I manage to put 10K miles/year on the car.

I'll probably get tossed out of here... But, I put about 900 miles on my car this past driving season (May to early October). Last year, 1100 miles. Mostly going to car shows and a few trips to the dealer for maintenance.

Over the life of the car, it's been used about 2300 miles per year on average...

Kinda pathetic if you think about it... I need another 'beater' 911 to drive more often!
