<DIV>My car, a ‘12 Chevy Cruze, shows average mileage and speed on each trip
meter. (It also shows them in separate displays, but simply echoes what
trip meter 1 says!? I bet that is a program bug.) Since I use and
reset them, I don’t have averages of either number over the life of the
car. My wife had a ‘12 Equinox. It had both those figures
independent of the trip meters and she never reset either. When we traded
it in a year ago, it showed 105,987 miles, 27.8 mpg and 43.2 mph. You
can’t take it too easy and average 1,400 miles per month. For at least the
last couple years, she reported the mpg figure never changed. The mph
figure probably hadn’t much either. Once you establish averages for 70 or
80 thousand miles, it would take some major changes in driving to change the
averages.</DIV>

<DIV>By the way, the Equinox was still on the original set of tires.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>Jim, I keep forgetting to check the hourmeter in my truck, but my
car has a direct readout of average MPH. I record it and reset with every
tank of fuel along with MPG data. The overall average of just under 3
years and just over 40K miles is 35.5 MPH. Turns out I'm remarkably
average. I wear size Medium suits off the rack too.

<DIV>Several years ago, my brother and I were comparing odometer readings on
our trucks. My truck was older and had a lot more miles. Then we
checked hours. His had a bunch more. His truck use was probably
pretty typical, including a fair amount of local driving. As I recall,
he averaged close to the expected 35. I rarely use mine to just drive
around on short errands. Most of the mileage is on longer trips.
Earlier today, it turned over 100,000 miles and is just over 2,000
hours. The average is 49 mph. Since my highway speed is usually 70
or more, it seems it would be tough to get a long term average much
higher.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Back in the good old days, hour meters were typically grounded through an
oil pressure switch. If the engine wasn’t actually running and producing
oil pressure, the hour meter wouldn’t clock time even with the switch
on.</DIV>

have a Scag zero turn that I bought new, I put about 350 hours on it over the
course of several years. When I parked it this last fall, I accidentally
left the key on, so when I went to start it this Spring I had 3500 hours on
it. Fortunately my daughter works at the dealer so I was able to buy a new
one. <BR><BR>Mike M<BR></DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>For the record, in automotive engineering, the conversion between
engine hours and road miles is usually taken to be 35, not 60. I've also
seen 33 used. It's a broad approximation of course Vehicles used
extensively on the highway will be somewhat higher, and vehicles used
extensively in heavy traffic/city conditions will be somewhat lower. It
would be exceptionally rare to find any roadgoing vehicle averaging 60mph.
