how much do you drive?

[gx12]

here in Calgary, with the city keep expanding bigger not "higher".
i put in 70km round trip during a workday. that's alot of driving imo.

but then again, a friend of mine lives in Airdrie and works in the south of Calgary, that's ~100km/day and he doesn't mind it at all even though he's stuck behind deerfoot rush-hour traffic every freaking afternoon!!!!!

so, it would be interesting to know how much an average calgarian drive just to go to work nowadays (not those who drive for living).

how much do you drive in average (workday) ?

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Work is 30km a day round trip, but I average 83km a day total.

[drtoohotty1]

102km round trip from Cochrane to chinook area i can do it in about 40 minutes which is better then some coworkers who drive deerfoot from the north

[jdmXSI]

I drive 7kms each way to work and in the opposite direction of rush hour. Its pretty nice but it wont last forever. If I ever had to change jobs, the commute would be a big factor ecpecially if it meant 1hr each way for 260 working days:nut:

[Graham_A_M]

From just work and back, 50-60km's from Marda loop to Glenmore & Barlow (I work close by there).
15-20 min each way, but I work from 5am-3 most days so dont have to worry about Rush hour.
:dunno:

[Doozer]

From the deep NW to Chinook area each day, about 40 mins each way. Enough that I'm thinking about a dashcam because 90+ minutes on the road every day when you don't drive for a living is just asking for trouble.

[TravisF79]

150ish km round trip from Cochrane to down in Cranston area....for now

Don't mind it at all either. Nice and peaceful

[My_name_is_Rob]

285 km round trip from red deer to Calgary. Only have to do it twice a week this semester fortunately.

It doesn't seem too bad, seeing as some of you average around 100k a day and you live local.

[Shlade]

from home to work, then work and back is 40k for me

Then gym, I usually put on 55-60k a day.

[Deetz]

My round trip to work and back is 15k in a day

[Cos]

.

[beyond_ban]

I drive 100kms for work everyday. At least it is all highway kms so it only takes me about 40 one way.

[Nsoentgerath]

4.5kms each way right now.

When I start my new job in 2 weeks it will go to 20kms each way.

[..*JDM Hatch*..]

27K Each way so a daily total for just work is 54K. Then going for random cruises here and there when i get bored and have nothing to do. Say 65K/day roughly.

[Boosted131]

6 km to work and back.

8000km in 3 months- lots of driving to waiparous and mclean....

[Sentry]

Bout 70k a day. Live in NW, work in Cochrane. No traffic either way, love it.

[Transp0rt3r]

About 50 km round trip just to work (UofC), live in Sage Hill. Plus errands, etc. makes about 70km/day

[Twenty]

Normal day of just work and school, about 30 total.

[skandalouz_08]

25kms each way but average closer to 60-70kms per day.

[Proyecto2000]

im about 70-80km per day.

[sneek]

26KM each way, so probably ~100 a day with some extra side trips to see friends/family and run errands.

[AE92_TreunoSC]

4.5kms to work! I average 500kms a week somehow lol.

[Danny Meehan]

12 000 km / year
a lot of work from home

[HomespunLobster]

With my new job, since June 2012 roughly 60,000-70,000 KM

[Mitsu3000gt]

I drive right about 5,000 KM per year.

[403Gemini]

To and from work, about 60 km (both ways). If it's a busy day with appointments, add on another 300-400 to that depending where they're located.

[KRyn]

Usually around 25 kms a day during the week (assuming I go to the gym). Weekends is a little more, depending on what I do but I would say average is about 25-50 kms.

[bulaian]

about 35 km to/from work

last year I drove about 17 000 km

[JustinMCS]

3.5km each way, with some travel during the day usually just around downtown. I like living close to my client sites.

[Maxt]

I average around 180-200 km's a day. It's less than what I used to do which was around 120,000 km's a year just for work

[finboy]

Zero as I walk to work, but probably 40-60km on the weekends

[eglove]

54km round trip every day

[superlative]

Wow, those are some crazy distances. Now I'm glad I spent $70 a month on Calgary Transit reserved parking. I love driving, but not in rush hour. If I'm going to drive a gas guzzler, they'll be pleasure miles.

[Disoblige]

I drive +/-13k a year, equating to roughly 35 km/day.

[kvg]

14k, 95% highway, 4 days a week usually, but I usually put on at least double that mileage on my days off.

[Tomaz]

I am currently doing 100kms/day in my commute to the office.

But seeing driving is my favorite passtime, I am still driving about 60k - 70k/year.

[Ukyo8]

70kms round trip per day for the next year or so

[Hage69]

1.4 km round trip home to work. Takes me about a month to finish a tank of gas:clap:

[K3RMiTdot]

depends on the day if i work in the morning i take the bus, if i work night shifts approx ~70 km there and back... on my days off considerably more with errands.

[tomt64]

81km each way 5 days a week if I dont detour. From the twigs of 22x to Airdrie. :banghead:

[boarderfatty]

work is just under 5km from my home. I bike a couple days a week when the weather is nice, and 80% of errands are within walking distance. I will travel 35km round trip every sunday for dinner with my parents though, and do occasional road trips. I average about 7,000km per year all said and done. I do some driving at work though, but it is in the shop vehicle, on company time, so that doesnt count imo.

[Maybelater]

About 100km a day for work

[xnvy]

Weekdays - 0km
Weekends ~ 200km/day plus or minus 50

[never]

My commute is 65 km one way to the SE of the city but it's mostly highway and I only have 6-7 lights on the way.

Relaxing drive but the mileage accumulates quickly on the vehicles.

[f150mikey060]

somewhere around 5000km a month average

[Stewjoe]

Work is about 6 km each way. At work I put on 100-300km per day, up to 600 some days. For my personal vehicle 100-500km a week depending on if I go into the city.

[adam c]

32k each way so 64k total, plus whatever I need to travel for work in my personal vehicle

Purchased my Mazda new October 2011, currently have ~37500

[-=MJ=-]

Work, Gym, Grocery Store, Liquor Store (weekdays) 0 kms and I don't live in the core.

Weekends about 100 kms a day as I either get out of the city or renovate stuff

[racerjim]

200K round trip to work and home, then another 600K average per day at work (tow truck)

[pf0sh0]

work and back - 3km lol
usually average 200 ish km

[GQBalla]

When I work 50 ish km a day round trip.

Pretty much 250 km a week for just work

But I seem to fill up every week.....

[thager]

[cr0n1c]

20km round trip.

Probably another 30km while at work, in the company vehicles.

[joseph]

Around 65k daily. Thinking of getting a beater car this summer. Mileage on my truck is ridiculous.

I have averaged 79-80km/day for the past 14 months and have only put 33500km on my car, 65km/day puts you closer to 25000km/year which isnt ridiculous mileage.
