What's your commuter mileage?

How many miles do you drive if use your SVX for commuting to work each day? As I remember from a prior poll most of use the SVX to drive to work. I am looking for year round drivers, round trip per day numbers.

I've got an 80 Mile round trip each day. I get 21 MPG in mixed driving. I have a mixture of winding country roads (most of my route), with a short stretch of freeway and a very short stint of "stop 'n' go." The perfect combination for the SVX.

2.6 miles round trip. Yeah, that's right...I'm a lazy b@st@rd that would rather drive my SVX than walk! The poor thing never gets a chance to fully warm up. But if i did not commute with her I would never get a chance to drive her.

Cool

My daily grind is only 12 miles each way, mostly freeway at 60-70 mph with a few blocks of suburban/industrial park at both ends. The car's garaged & even in winter will warm to "floating the needle on the waves" within 3-4 miles of start-up.

Ron.

I do about 60 miles roundtrip each day, mostly interstate with a little in-town driving. My average is about 23.5 mpg.

From full to when the low fuel light comes on is consistently about 15 gallons, which gets me about 350 miles.

YOU'RE LAZY?.... what about me... I only live 3/4 of a mile from work.... and I drive every morning and pay 14.00 a month for the privilege of parking on site... of course .. I take 2 hour lunches and drive for the two hours..

I get about 14mpg with mostly city driving. I get about 26 or so on the freeway.
