    Curious how many miles the average owner puts on his or her Ferrari.
    I haven't driven ours all that often, and have put about 75 miles a month on the car.

    308 gets a paltry 80-100 miles a month. TR gets 300-400 per month.

    My 308 gets about 50 -100 miles EVERY TIME I DRIVE HER.

    So far that's working out to about 300 miles a month...

    Probably 100 miles a month on average, although that includes months when I'm out of town a lot with a few longer drives mixed.

    Not enough - last year only managed 300 miles in the year - 25 miles per month really bad
    5 thousand miles in six years - need to drive it more

    WOW I put between 1000+ a month on my car per month. The last Ferrari I had I was scared to drive it!! This one I said what the heck it’s only a 308 and life is to short. I like to smile and my car helps me enjoy life. If its 40% or below chance of rain I take my chances. I wash/wax it every week end and the car seems to run better if I run it often. Better than the other Ferrari I had. Just about the time I got it warmed up and the square-ness off the tires I would put it up. DRIVE MORE!!! You can't drive it when you’re dead!!

    Where I live (In general) the driving season is about may/15-oct/15 (if you are lucky!)

    As such historically, I've been about 300-400 miles/month.

    That implies....we used to live 45 miles "out of town" which meant 100-125 RT. But now that we have home "in town" it's about 8 miles to the Golf club so that # will go down greatly.....

    Thus, now that we live "in town", I can see my monthly miles to go down to under 200/month...sad. I'll have to look for more "out of town" events to attend

    I put 600 miles on last weekend, but typically I put on around 300 miles/month. Even in the winter I try to at least run through one tank of gas a month. I don't like to have gasoline sit too long.

    Good Point, I have noticed that fuel in the last 4 or 5 years dosen't last very long in the tank,
    I have taken out 6 month old fuel from the cars & boats, and it has burned so poorly in the riding mowers that the valves will hang up from the deposits.

    Average over the year 100miles/month. The car only has road fund license for 6 months because the winter brings salted roads. So for 6 months of the year I average nearly 200 miles/month
