Hello. I've put 938 miles on my bobbed '84 Deuce this year. Mostly short trips to work and shopping. It has a White-Continental multi-fuel with a Whistler turbo.

I am lucky if I put 2,000 on in one year. Only exception was 2011 when I had to take a 580 mile round trip, that year I put about 2500. on it. All diesel fuel.

Mine gets a little higher usage than most. I've racked up almost 8000 miles this year. But I drove it across country too. I bought the truck with 2600 miles on it and am at just a tad over 42,000 now. I've owned the truck since 2006. It is my daily driver though too. White multi-fuel usually runs on a mix of whatever I can find to put in the tank.

I run around 8,000 miles a year give or take. Its my daily driver most of the time when its not broke. And All of them miles are on any thing I can find to put in the tank but usually motor oil.

"Clocked" miles and "Rolled" miles might be 2 different things for some of us, if you have larger tires than they will be different. "Clocked" miles are easier to figure out though so I will stay with that......

So far you guys are some light weights with your trucks.....my current truck hasn't been driven as much as my old one, so it hasn't "pulled" it's weight YET.....however I have clocked 16,000 miles on it so far(just under one year...about 11months) It has had what ever I can get my dirty little fingers on put down the tank, I am a little safer with this one cause of the new motor....

Now for my old truck, in the 2 years I had it I "Clocked" just at 41,000 miles on it in the 2 year time.....she definitely "Earned her keep" as they say....although the "rolled" miles would have been a bit more she had 395's on her.....same thing I poured everything in that tank!!!! Some stuff I "tested" by putting a stick in it and lighting with my lighter, if it burned it went in the tank!!!

I've probably got 500 on the shop van/pantry truck and about 300 on the M-36. The other four probably don't have 25 miles between them. All on over-the-road diesel.

About 4,000 miles per year for two years now. No idea how many actual miles but the odometer says 43,000. I drive for one reason or another every week.
