How much does the average person drive per year? 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year, at 15,000 miles per year that is 41 miles per day or 8 miles per day on gasoline, if you are driving that far per day chances are it's on the highway where you would use 81 gallons of fuel per year, but even if it's in town, getting lousy mileage it's only 91 gallons of fuel per year, compare that to the 468 gallons of fuel that someone getting 32mpg would otherwise use and that is of course assuming that you do all of that driving without being able to plug in, like I am able to do at work, and if you drive 10,000 miles per year then you average out to 27 miles per day of driving without using gasoline.
