The Surprising Amount of Miles You'll Drive in a Lifetime Revealed in New Study

The study of 2,000 drivers found the average person owns five cars, refills their tank 1,360 times, and passes their test after two attempts, Honda said.

  • Honda-commissioned research showed the average driver will cover one and a half million miles in their lifetime, refilling their tank 1,360 times, according to a sample of 2,000 drivers from OnePoll.com.
  • Honda commissioned the research to support the Civic e:HEV launch and displayed Civics on Harley Street, London, highlighting consumer reservations about electrified vehicles despite advancing technology.
  • The poll found the average driver owns five cars and changes vehicles every five years, though 21% keep the same car for a decade or longer.
  • Only 28% are likely to switch to an electric car within five years, with sceptical drivers citing cost 72%, limited charge points 54% and range anxiety 53%, while Honda says advancing technology makes switching timely.
  • Winfield noted drivers who change cars often do so because they fancy something new, with 46% citing this reason at Harley Street, London.
