One Hundred miles (100) roundtrip daily, 5 days each week for work. Then shopping on the weekend (got to go to keep the wife in check)
Overall about 550 to 600 miles per week in my daily driver (AWD Subaru). Then on weekends, if I'm lucky I get to take out my old cars with the thirsty appetities (one at 8 mpg and the other at 10 mpg - both on a diet of premium fuels).

Bob thats horrendous! I bet your idea of relaxation has nothing to do with a drivers seat!

Wotinhel happened to a Sube's gas mileage. I've had 2, tho not AWD but 4WD and one a turbo. They both were well into the 30's for mpg. I would guess that making them a heavy pseudo luxury car didn't help

Thats a good one! At least I don't drive 600 miles a week. If I did I would need a second job to pay the gas!

Between BP and Shell I'm starting to get little special offers that read "for our best customers"... That's not an honor I ever wanted.
But there is relief in sight. I can reduce my mileage and time in the car by half, by driving to the light rail station and taking the light rail train to work. I go right past it daily, but have never used it before because it's much slower than by car (about 1 hr for an otherwise 30 min. drive). But due to my employment I can ride FREE, so I'm thinking that now is the time to make the switch. Less gas, less wear and tear on the car, plus lower insurance. Sounds like a plan to me.
