We were doing 20,000 mi per year per vehicle, of which we own 2 so 40,000 mi total. However now that we have my grandkids living here full time, I don't get out nearly as much as I used to. I wouldn't be shocked if it dropped down to 25,000 to 30,000 mi per year between the two vehicles.

That being said this is Texas, so everything's further away. The round trip to drop the kids off at school this morning was 25 mi. A little bit later I have to do a couple errands and then pick the kids up, and that's going to be about 35 mi round trip. I drive to work each day is 40 mi both ways. On average each weekend we probably do about 200 mi total, on average.

Shoot, just yesterday on Sunday, we went to meet my son-in-law and his girlfriend over at a restaurant in Addison Texas for lunch. The drive there and back was 77 mi... FOR LUNCH! :CWL:
while Montana is not as vast as Texas it is the same here. We often drive well over 100 miles to our favorite breakfast place. trying to make my carbon footprint while I can.....

I've been about 12-15k but just changed jobs and I'm doing 500-1k miles a week so I expect that will translate into 26-30k per year.

I'm just glad it's not the ~25k/year it used to be. That was a waste.

I might put 7500 on in a year right now, between 3 vehicles. And that doesn't count miles on our RV.

We have been averaging about 12k per year on the JL. We normally drive about 20-22,000 but have slowed down for a number of reasons, hopefully just temporary. We want to go back to our roadtrips this year, looking forward to it. I am old but enjoy driving, that is what we have always done and hope to continue at least for a few more years.

I thought I'd be driving a lot more than I am 😅

When I traded in my 2019 GC SRT for my 2023 Wrangler in October 2022, it had around 13k miles on it. My saleman and I laughed on whether or not I'd put more or less miles on the Wrangler over the next 3 years.

Well, roughly 30 months in, I just hit 8k miles this past weekend 😆

I don't have any roadtrips planned this year, so unless storm chase season is very busy, I think 10k miles, at most, is where the Jeep will be at by this October.

Why did I buy this thing again? 😂

Historically, 4000 miles per year in a Jeep, which is reserved solely for weekend trips where I actually need the capabilities. The rest of the time I drive my car.

I seem to be driving less & less. I'm just curious how many miles do you drive? This can be annually, or to work, lunch, vacations, to jeep trails.

My 2023 JL. 9500 miles, I'm trying to reach 10000 miles by March 18th, 2 year anniversary.

2007 Mustang. 12600 miles. Put 600 miles on it last year. I know, thats pathetic! We drove about 29 miles round trip to lunch. I'm trying.

How many miles do you drive?
14 miles one way to work.

About 32,000 miles in the 2 years I've owned the JT

44k miles in two and a half years.

I work from home, so almost all of that is from road trips. As far east as Arkansas, many, many trips to Southern Colorado and Utah, and a few to the West coast for uber playgrounds like the Rubicon Trail.

I'm usually on foot or bike, and we use our other car for most road trips, so my '21 2-door only has about 13K miles.

What!? No way! You're not going to let your jeep go are you?
