Depending on where I happen to be working I put up to 150 miles per day on my
V8 -
except when it's sunny and then it's the roadster, but 10,000 miles per year is
frequently quoted as the UK 'average', and that includes people who travel as
part
of their daily work. Those that travel to a fixed place of work, do their
eight
hours then travel home again generally do considerably less, according to
Government statistics issued from time to time.
