Jack Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 So folks, how many miles do you think you have driven in your MV over the years? And I suppose the next question is how much fuel have you used?!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Ashby Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Hmm there's a thought, lets say an average of 1000 miles a year for 40 years not so many these days but regularly up to 2500 during the first 30 odd years so that works out out at around 40,000 miles spread across jeeps, doges, GMC's CMP's I'm not including the 109 as that was my wife's and I don't do Land Rovers :cool2: so lets see that would be: jeeps various for 15 years @ 18mpg = (15 x 1000) / 18 = 833 gal Dodges variuos for 10 years @ 14mpg = (10 x 1000) / 14 = 714 gal GMC for 5 years @ 10 mpg = (5 x 1000) / 10 = 500 gal CMP's various 5 years @ 10mpg = ( 5 x 1000) / 10 = 500 gal TOTAL = 2547 gal (or 11579 l for our SI unit chums) Not done that calculation before but it's a fair estimation and may be a bit on the low side if anything Pete Edited August 17, 2017 by Pete Ashby Can't add up for a toffee !!

Zero-Five-Two Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Been averaging 1000 mile a year in the Militant, which is about 5000 since we got it on the road. Somewheres in the region of 2500 Ltrs of diesel, and 170 hours in the jockey seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason1968 Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 I would not know how much fuel I used but I had a Steyr puch haflinger ex royal marine commando and drove that to work everyday and shows or AWDC events at weekends it's top speed was 30 mph and I drove it to stoneleigh bovington st austell south Wales and all the local green lanes pub meets etc and I wore it out and had to have a rebore on the engine! It was 15 miles each way to work 5 days a week and I did that for a year so the little haffy did a lot of miles altogether! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surveyor Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 So folks, how many miles do you think you have driven in your MV over the years? And I suppose the next question is how much fuel have you used?!! Should oil and lubricants be added to the question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 One way another, about 2 on each, been a rather bothersome year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamber Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Maybe three, at most, in short stints of plodding about the industrial estate. Pretty sure the fuel usage is measured in gallons per mile, too. :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.303fan Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 18x 16000 miles a year in the 109, 101 and 88 lightweight combined. Did a lot of home to work and back, UK trips Amsterdam to Brighton and from amsterdam to my fiance in lincolnshire with 1000kg freight in the 109 , etc. A lot of fuel got used, did not keep tabs on it.
