Who drives their HL the most????

Just curious as to who drives their HL the most per year.

When did you get your HL and how many miles did you have on it after the first year?

Or, if you want to break it down further. How many miles do you drive per week, month, year?


I included a poll for weekly driving but please include more detailed information in your post.

Have done 20,000km in the first 12 months, but I wasn't working for 4 of those so will probably do 25-30,000km for the next 12.

Mine is at around 19,200km after 10.5 months. I will likely be close to 21,000km when the first year is up. This would be a typical year for me.

I drive about 40,000-45,000 miles per year - I trade cars about every 1.5 years.

Got mine February 2008 and so far have 25,000 miles. Most of my miles are on my trips to the desert and off-roading, but also freeway miles on other kinds of road trips. Overall, my mileage split is about 20% city and 80% highway. I've driven my Highlander without stopping for up to eight hours and almost 500 miles, and was comfortable the whole way. I've never been able to say or do that with any other vehicle I've owned.

Interesting results so far. I personally drive mine roughly 350-450 miles per week. That should be cut in half soon.

Keep the poll and posts going.

We have had ours for about 3 months and have 2000 miles on it, so we drive about 150 a week. Roughly....of course we have 3 other cars, Camry, Corolla and Chevy Venture, so the miles get divided amongst them. Just depends on what we want when we go.

Good mileage and XM RADIO then Corolla
Decent mileage and comfort then Camry
Roominess for 6 or 7 and comfort Highlander
Don't care about any of the above.....Venture.

A little off-topic...

I wish some of my co-workers are like you. During the work hours some of them must of use the mens room like 20 times a day (not that I counted). It drives me insane! But what am I suppose to do? "Hey, uh...you're...."

24,754 miles in the first year or about 476 average miles per week... I should buy stock in Shell...

According to my spreadsheet my Cumulative MPG up to that point was 20.9MPG. Average Interstate / Highway MPG is 24.5MPG with a best tank of 25.7MPG. Average Commuting MPG is 20.5MPG with a worst tank of 18.6MPG...
