your daily commute + wherever else you go everyday.

I'm putting a lot of choices to try to get an accurate reading.

0 now, but soon to be about 6. The job I got is just far enough that I can't ride my bike. It makes me mad to think about it, but its not worth me getting run over by a car.

yep-I'm in Houston and there is no possible way to ride my bike to work - zero bike lanes on my route - it'd be a wonderful workout - about 25 miles each way!!

I currently average 62 miles a day. Over the last three years, I've gone from telecommuting with 5 - 8 monthly trips of ~250 miles (in a day) to now commuting with occasional trips (3 x every 2 months) up to 400 miles in a day to client locations. Could a full electric work? Only if I had an additional vehicle capable of a 400 mile day.

From 1994 to 1997 I rode my bike to work daily - 40 miles RT, one hour and five minutes each way. I could not do this now and I would be glad to if it made sense. I got hit on my bike in 1997 and have not commuted by bicycle since then.

Daily, roughly 42-50 miles. If I go see my girlfriend, that number rockets to about 100-120 miles.

14 miles, so the gas price doesn't really hurt me that much.

I used to drive about 50 miles a day...but now I take the metro to work so that number dropped in half ::whew::...with gas prices the way they are now, walking to the metro might be my next option

On average:

50 miles a day with the car.

25 miles a day with the motorcycle. (Well, typically 300 miles a week, but I ride mostly during the weekends.)

I live about 2.5 miles from work, so round trip is about 5 miles. I put down 0-10 miles though since I may stop off somewhere. Sometimes I'll take a long ride and that could be 100 miles round trip.

On the weekday, I travel very little. I use up about less than half of my tank M-Th but on F-Sun, I will use more than half.
