How many miles does the average motorist drive per day?

Question

Kind of a vague question, but I'm interested in people's thoughts.

Answer 1

Around HERE, in Southern California, there IS no "average" motorist. Some people drive a few blocks, some drive 75Miles or more, and most drive some # between those.

I know of one group that travels in a van from Barstow, Ca. to Long Beach every day. Thats something like 125 miles EACH way.

Answer 2

The average driver drives 12,000 to 15,000 miles a year.  Math brings those figures to 33 miles a day and 41 miles per day. respectively.

So a easy estimate would be 37 miles on average per day for a driver that generally drives everyday.
