In a one-vehicle household the average daily mileage is about 50 miles, according to the 2022 National Household Travel Survey. In a two-vehicle household, the first vehicle averages nearly 60 miles in a day; in a six-vehicle household, the first vehicle averages over 70 miles per day. Daily miles for the second vehicle in each of these categories is less than 60% that of the first vehicle.
Note: The vehicles were sorted based on vehicle miles and assigned vehicle numbers accordingly (i.e., the household vehicle with the highest VMT was assigned vehicle 1, the vehicle with the second highest VMT was assigned vehicle number 2, and so on).
