So its back to Uni for me this week and with a bunch of academic readings to do I feel its time for some procrastinating

I was going through the used cars in the paper the other day for something to do when I came across a 2002 Astra with 12,000km's/7,500 miles on the clock! I didnt even know that was possible. My challenge is to see who does the least amount of km's/miles per year in their Fiesta.

I probably wont get very far with about 25,000km's/ 15,500 miles a year

Got My car brand new is 4 years old and has done 13,000 miles so far . So that's 3,250 miles a year average .. Don't drive to work so my car is a weekly shopping / road trip machine ;)

I've been to France - Belgium - Germany - Holland on the ferry in it and popped up to London ... :)

So its back to Uni for me this week

Ah yes, good old Uni. I have an exam on Tuesday and revision has taken over my existence! Work full time hours Monday-Friday then revision every night and weekend! Uni day is Saturday for me 10-16:30

Back on topic, I have clocked up 5,400 miles in the first 12 months of ownership. I use my car every day in the week for going to work (14 mile round trip) and then to Uni most Saturday's (32 mile round trip).

So that's 3,250 miles a year average

Looks like Lee is winning at the moment with 3,250 miles, is there anyone with less?

Crazy to think what you do in 19 years, I manage to clock up in about 2 :o

Ah yes, good old Uni. I have an exam on Tuesday and revision has taken over my existence! Work full time hours Monday-Friday then revision every night and weekend! Uni day is Saturday for me 10-16:30

Woah thats a brutal schedule - I cant complain being classified as full time with 12 contact hours, 2 days a week and work the other 3 but the 200-250 pages of academic reading a week is a killer. At least I get to do plenty of driving which is nice and relaxing! Best of luck for the exam

About 6-7k miles per year, mostly commuting just 17 miles a day. The car is 5 years old and has just over 28k miles on it :). I bought it 2nd hand though, still feels like a new car to drive.

Last year i did around 2500 to 3000 miles,its mainly there for emergencies/local shopping.

Last car had 25,000 on the clock.had it just under 3 years,32,000 when i sold it.

This car gets a good blast once a month on a long road.
