I usually push 2k miles a year, give or take, driving it about 2-4 times a week. And nothing but baby tears go in the tank. I mean diesel. They're about the same price right?

I've put over 6000 miles on mine in the three months or so I've had it. I average no less than 60 miles per day almost six days a week. Sometimes often I do more than 100 miles a day. Running the Continental LDT-465-1d with D turbo. I burn mostly JP-8. I throw 5 gallons of gasoline and some fresh motor oil in the tank with it sometimes.

In 2013, only about 450 miles, 2012-about 2000 miles (first year I had it which includes the 100 mile trip home). 2012 was a fuel experiment year. 2013 veggie oil and diesel.

I put 8k a year on my M109 usually, this year has been much less as I didn't make Haspin (1500 miles) or the GA Rally, because the motor is out of it!

Not a deuce but I've put 50k on my M915A1 since I bought it in 2011...

I also put 30k on my M818 in 2 years.

My Deuce was inspected on June 14, 2013, and the inspection sticker notes 14,424 miles at that time.

I made a run this morning for Father's Day doughnuts, and when I put the truck up it had 15,356 "clocked" miles.

So I did the better part of 1,000 miles in the last twelve months. My goal is to do a lot more in the next twelve!!

Just finished bobbing the deuce in April, but I have put about 700 on her in the last 2 months, including pulling the car hauler with the m38a1 on it to the Denton rally. Alot of fun to drive now, so i can see her getting out for a run or two per week, maybe going to the GA rally and the Denton rally. She will be the designated atv/rzr hauler this summer. I put about 500 on my m38a1/yr too.
