Covid mileage on your car?

[jeff]

Was curious how many miles you guys have put on your Fiesta since March 2020ish. I was checking battery/tires/fluid and giving my car some love today and realized I'd only driven it about 1,000 miles since March, mostly due to so little driving/travel and working from home.

Same here. I only drive when it's necessary, and that's not often.

I work in sanitation very important I go to work. The only thing that's changed is going to the gym and I've been doing that at home.
I will give a breakdown of the mileage of my vehicles.
The fiesta has averaged 4,000 miles a year. I'm about to hit 12,000 miles on it soon.
My daily driver Ford Focus has averaged about 10,000 miles a year over the last 3 years. I'm going by three years because I've had to get my vehicles inspected for their yearly inspection and on the receipt it shows my mileage from the last 3 years.
My wife's Mazda 3 has averaged about 5,000 miles a year. She has worked from home for 4 years now.

Not even 400 miles.

This whole year is going result in severely reduced mileage on this car, since the ARA has cancelled ALL of the rallies I had planned on working/attending this season.

That's a good 3000+ miles of; travel to get to the events, and travel once at the events to get out to the various stages I would have worked, and then driven on, that will not go onto the odometer this year.

When COVID was starting up I went to the ethanol dealer down the road and got enough for 3 tanks worth. I just had to go back last week, 4 months later. 3 tanks on ethanol is about 1000 miles.

We bought a new Mazda CX-9 in 12/2019. It had 20 miles when I bought it. Today I was vacuuming it, it has 3350 miles and wants an oil change.

Maybe be a lot of low mileage cars for sale in the future because of this, if the world doesn't end by then.

I've been driving it quite a bit during this time of lockdown, mostly just to get out of the house. About every other day I take a long drive out into the country with my dog and listen to music, it's been a nice escape from worrying about the virus. I also think it's really important for a car to be driven regularly, so even though I haven't been using it for errands much, it's had a pretty normal amount of miles put on it.

I've been forced to work at home since late March, but I make a point to take a long drive (east bay to Sacto and back, east bay to south bay and back, east bay to SLO and back, etc.) every weekend -- just because! Even with the long drives, I only need to fill up every other week (versus at least once per week), so I guess I'm driving 1/2 as many miles as before.

My car sat a while. I didn't drive it much while we were locked down. Now that I got rid of those terrible recaros I can finally drive free of pain and discomfort. In fact I went from getting ready to trade the car in, to considering a turbo upgrade.

I also just went back to work (IBEW electrician) after being off for 3 months so I'm putting miles on the car again.

More miles on my bicycle.

Essential. No change in driving.

Also no hazard pay.

Got my car 2/16/20 and put a total of 1200 miles on it since then, including the 350 miles to get it home from the dealer Where I got it.

Definitely very few miles working from home. Plus I have my truck for some essential driving. Guess I got myself a garage queen. Shhh. Don’t tell me wife.

 

[DBLE]

So far have only driven about 1,200 miles. Pre-COVID, I was putting in 10 gallons every 20 days. Because of COVID, it’s now about 7 gallons every 39 days. My last tank went 47 days, and I was still at half a tank before filling up just because.

 

[GreenenvyFiST]

Very little. I work from home, and try to drive it as much as possible on weekends.

 

[CSM]

maybe 1,000 miles? splitting between jelly bean and FRS. Usually once a week to work (65 mi round trip) and a few leisure drives a week to cure boredom.

 

[RubenZZZ]

I’ve haven’t slowed down. I’ve been logging about 240 miles a week... so about 1000 miles a month with weekend driving included.

7k miles

 

[AnArmyOfJuan]

I haven't been keeping track of miles, but I filled up on Monday for the first time since the middle of May. I started doing Uber Eats again yesterday to make a few extra bucks, so that'll add some miles again.

 

[HardBoiledEgg]

No made up virus is gonna slow my miles. 131k and counting.
