Who has the *lowest* miles?

Post by Kari »

Well, we've got the high mileage thread, now how about the low mileage thread. To make it fair, let's say you have to have had the Vibe for at least 6 months. Post your total mileage and per-month average. I currently have about 15,500 miles on mine, and I've had it since October '02. That's an average of 674 miles per month.

I have had mine for 4 months, and i have about 5200 miles. BUT, the first weekend i had it, i went on a 2100 mile trip to and from Minnesota. So it kinda works out to about 3100 miles for 4 months, and in the last month or so, it only gets driven about 200 miles a month. (Been on the motorcycle lately).I just once wanted to have a vehicle where i hit 36 months before 36,000 miles.

18.5 months, 10,775. = 581/mo (and there was 230 miles on it at delivery). Too bad the warranty isn't 36 months or 36,000 miles whichever comes "last". My T&C Van has 5,480 in 9.5 months = 577/mo. Lucky I only have a two car garage or I'd probably also have a convertible sports car and each would then only be used 400 miles a month.

I have had the vibe since April '03 and have 14,5xx miles. Not the lowest by far. But I am much closer to the low end than the high end.On a our other vehicle (Chevy S-10) we have just over 7500 miles in the same time frame. We planned it that way to save gas. The V6 in the truck gets much worse MPG in both city and highway driving.

Bought mine at the end of March '03 and I have almost 13,000 miles on it. Average of about 760 miles per month. I drive a lot, but work, grocery store, family, friends are all pretty close to where I live so I might only put 20 miles a day on my Vibe on average.

Hmm, this made me run out to the car to check my stats because I've never really put much mileage on a car before. The Vibe has probably packed on more miles in less time than any other car I've owned.Purchased 10/18/2002, had 16 miles on it. Today (08/19/2004), has 19,077 miles. So that's 19,061 miles total in 22 months, or 866.4 miles per month so far.Also, it's been 671 days since I bought my Vibe, so that's 28.4 miles per day on average.Had I not taken my Vibe on a couple of the trips that I have over the past year (to Milford PA for last years regional Vibe meet, to DC twice and Baltimore to DC, Niagra Falls [Canada], Detroit MI [including the trip to Windsor, Ontario]), I'd have noticably lower mileage. This has me on pace for about 10,400 miles per year. I used to typically drive about 8,000 miles per year so this is up a bit for me.

Post your total mileage and per-month average. Not a whole lot of compliance with your rules. At less than 580 miles a month I think I'm probably in the lead at the moment.

just talking to my mom who has a 2003 AWD. She's had it for 18 months and bought it with a little over 2k on it. she now has just over 8k on it. So that's what? 330 miles/month?Just as a side (not wanting to hijack), she traded in her 1996 Olds that had 12k miles on it. I mean she barely even breaks in her car! Her idea of a long car ride is getting in the drivers side and sliding across and getting out the passanger side! LOL...

LOL...By my calculation now that she's got a VIBE she has more than doubled her monthly driving.
