How many miles a week do you drive?

I was doing the math the other day and it turns out that in the 15 weeks I've owned my Geo I'm averaging 520 miles per week, or 74.2 miles per day. Where do ya'll fall into?

~140 miles/workday, plus 30-150 depending on weekend activities. Call it 800 miles/week?

...by the numbers, roughly: (1) 26.2 miles each way; (2) five days per week; (3) plus ~50 miles city on weekends; equals (4) 312 miles / week.

Most days I don't drive at all. Somehow I still use nearly a tank a month. I do fly up to 500 miles each day for work though.
