    I have covered 28k in the last 2 - 2 1/2 years mainly trucking up & down the M6 to Liverpool to see my kids, that's all stopped now so just hoping to cover 10 -12,000 a year now.

    About 33k, not bad for an oldy. I must be nearing the 1 million since 1956, on several continents also. Driven in the States and Aus as well, spent 5 months living and working in France before I retired in 1998. Rather drive in France than here though!

    Best,

    normclarke.

    Myself... well I bought my T5 van just under 2 years ago and have covered 16k in it since getting it. I have had use of the Skoda (which I've just sold) and the A6 so that would bring the figure up to around 19-20k I imagine.

    Done about 24k in the passat over two years since new but that is just weekend mileage. i have the diesel Range rover for the day trips to work 125 round trip in the last 12 months i have done 49,450 in the range rover. i have switched my car usuage since getting the range rover on the road. it runs on straight veg oil so even with the extra thirst it still works out half the cost of running on road diesel. i have recently aquired 2 IBT tanks of used veg oul from a local take away and i am in the process of cleaning and filtering it. should run the range rover for a few months. and the best is i was paid to take it away for them.

    Needless to say, if anyone is looking for their lost cats and dogs they should look out for your Range Rover

    I seem to do about 10,000 per year roughly.

    Which generally involves a weekly trip to Dartford, and an almost daily 20mile round trip...

    Car had done 65,000 when i bought in July 2008 and now has done 80,000 i reckon it still has plenty more to go!

    15k here, not too bad compared to some. However I'd dearly love to live beside my work, could walk to work and drive something ridiculously thirsty at the weekends.

    I love driving, but hate having to think "slow down, must achieve 40mpg!"
