I normally drive about 12k per year, but the Prius now has 10k in just over 6 mos. We have taken two long trips, one to San Diego and one to Portland so that accounts for 3 - 4k of the 10k. It is the primary vehicle for the weekends now.

I commute 100 miles per day, plus 50-100 on weekends for approx. 31000-33000 per year.

Exactly 33,652 miles in one year. I drive a 43 mile one way commute, plus a few trips to Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, and a West Coast road trip...it all adds up.

34,500 in the first year. Fortunately, I get reimbursed for nearly every one of them. I got the Prius with the intention of it being a profit center and it is doing that very well. All things considered, I pocket about 11 cents per mile. (Where the #$% is the cent sign on my keyboard?).

My commute is about 25 miles a day, round trip. 184 days. Plus the occasional shopping or visit to the parents.

If I decide to apply for the library position at my old school and I'm hired, my commute will be 1.5 miles a day. Significantly reduced.

This is why when I sold my 9 year old Saturn SC2 coupe it only had 48,000 miles on it. And that included a yearly trip to Palm Springs and some occasional trips to L.A.

So currently I'm estimating slightly less than 10,000. If I change schools, it will drop to probably less than 7,000 a year.

The question has come up, how much do Prius drivers really drive their Prius, and I can't find a recent poll on this, so I'm breaking new territory here and making my own poll!

Are you the little-old-lady driving the car only on Sundays, or the traveling salesman stereotypes, or somewhere in between?

Thanks for your participation!

I'm defenatley in the 20,000 to 30,000 a mile per year range. I do real estate appraisals for a living and I drive on average 75 miles a day, 6 days a week for work alone. Then there is personal miles, so it adds up quick!

Hold down the alt key and type 0162 on the numeric keypad:

11¢/mile
