The FHWA figure for average annual mileage per licensed driver is about 13,500 — roughly 37 miles every single day, weekends included. Men average noticeably more than women, and drivers aged 35 to 54 drive the most. Rural drivers accumulate more miles than urban ones despite shorter average trips being the stereotype.
