I'm interested to know how far people regularly drive their Suzukis.
I got my Mighty Boy as my daily driver to & from work - so It only goes maybe 12k's round trip per typical weekday, but then I've been taking it on a run fairly regularly too, and there I can do 250-400k's in a day. My F5A MB just eats it up.
How far do you travel in your car each day? - Do you do longer trips? I wonder who goes the furthest?

I'm the same, about 13k's each way to work.
I drive to canberra evety year or so for Marque in the park or what not, but that's it.
I'm not afraid of doing that drive south except last time with the carby freeze I didn't make. Got scared after driving for almost 3 hours in the cold which took me a little over an hour to get back.
Only real downside is I don't have an music set up in the car!

I have traveled 3000 km in the last two weeks in my 1985 Super Carry that has traveled 268,000 and used 100 ml of oil and I would drive a few hundred km weekly normally.

I think i mentioned it on the cruise, but i drove my alto 1400kms in 18 hrs only stopping for fuel. Speaking daily wise, i drive roughly 45km round trip to get to work.

My boy used to be my g/f's daily driver, driven about 350kms a week, until about a year ago when she bought her Tx5 turbo. Since then, before last weekend, i'd maybe done 300kms all year! Did more than that last weekend on the cruise!
I'll probably drive to work a couple of times soon, when i get a couple of little issues sorted out & replace the seats with some Tx5 seats i have. That trip is about 160kms each way, but i do it on a monday & usually don't have to do the return trip until thursday, between is just running a few kms to & from the office, from my home away from home.
Cheers

Before my F8B died I was driving anywhere up to 55Km. Distance & terrain varied because I am a Traffic Controller - I can have work anywhere within a 100Km radius.
