Less than 50 most weeks, given that I commute via public transit. Some weekend trips are long, though, like this weekend had a day trip to see family the next state over, so it was something like 200 miles in a day.

Work is about 6 miles away so around 60 for work plus maybe another 20-25 for life. We don't have kids which helps. One car between my wife and I but we both work at the same place so that helps.

During the week maybe 10-20. I live near my office and also work at home a lot. Weekends fluctuate depending on what we're doing.

Work commute is about 30 miles round trip 3 days / week. And then basically go to yoga (10 miles round trip) or downtown (25miles round trip). So easily 100+

15 or so since I started working from home last year. Saves me a ton in gas money and car maintenance, not to mention travel time!

Depends on the weather. I only commute 8 miles a day but I'll do a couple of hundred at the weekend on my motorbike if the roads are dry.

I'm down to 0-50. My new job site is ~2 miles away. I don't drive otherwise as parking can get tough in Miami so it is mostly cheaper to Uber. I go through a tank of gas every month and a half right now.

I'm going to look into getting a bike to reduce that too.

200 or so

Almost 20 miles from home to work and another to drive back home (used to be 10 till I moved further away to a better new neighborhood)

So almost 40 miles a day

Shopping is usually half a mile since all stores I shop for groceries are close by

Add another 20+20 for Sundays when I go to church

So 200+

Maybe 10? My average may be a little higher if I include the couple of 1000km trips we make each year, but not by much.

I take the bus to and from work and minor shopping trips. I only really take the car for bigger grocery hauls.

My commute is 10 miles each way, 4–5 days a week (I often work from home 1 day a week), currently all by car. So that's 80–100 miles a week just for commuting, and then probably another handful a miles a week for basic errands (groceries, etc.), then maybe some other longer car trip outing on some weekends. I'm probably just over the 100 mile mark on average.

I should probably make an effort and give bus transit a chance. Tough to allow for what will probably be double or triple the total commute time, though.

My commute is 30 miles round trip so 150 miles there. Add in an occasional errand run and I'm probably around 175 miles in a week on average.

150. Mostly by motorcycle when its light in the mornings/evenings, car otherwise.

Probably less than 20/week.

Those of you who are doing multiple hundreds a week are casually fucking up our planet and there is no good excuse for it.

I don't own a car, and I take public transportation to class. I'll use Lyft rarely for special occasions. But I'm lucky that I'm in a city in the US with decent public transit.

~225 per week unfortunately. I'll be moving closer to work soon.
I wish I lived in an area with viable public transit. I hate driving.
Visiting London was like a dream to me.

Usually 20 miles a day for work. It's about a 15-20 min commute. Then whatever else I end up driving on the weekend.

300 just to work and back. weekends are mostly errand running, so probably a 1/10th of that.

0, unless it's raining or we're going on a special trip. A cargo bike with electric assist has changed everything for me. If you live within a few miles of work/school/stores, switching to a bike might be more doable than you think!

9 miles to and from work five days a week, plus weekends, so right about 100miles.

On the average, about 100 miles per week. Luckily my work is about 3 miles away and just other errands around town add up the rest. Only have to fill up once a month in my Mazda6 which is awesome.

Sub 20 easily. I'm really close to the train, but not so close that walking is a really viable option. I wish I could just drive a golf cart.

I work from home. I drive to see my girlfriend around 3 times a week (12 miles round trip) and do minor errands that are usually nearby. So 50 miles total at most.

about 74 miles. I work in a different town than I live in so it's a 40 minute drive for a return trip 5 times a week.

245 since that covers my commute to school. Additional miles for anywhere else I go on the weekend.
