On the days I visit my mother-in-law we do 80 miles, but that is only twice a week. Most days I do no more than 2 miles. Many days the car never comes out the garage. It is amazing how little most people use their cars.The figure 90% seems to jog a memory. The average car is sitting in its garage, drive or parking spot for 90% of its life.Just done a back of the envelope calculation for me and I reckon my car is idle for 98% of the time!!!98% unused is quite normal!!!You could be right. Just thinking of my daughter who reckons she spends 2 hours a day in her car and that's probably more than most and even that works out to 92% idle!

Yep. Sounds right. I think the "average" car spends +/- 95% of its time sitting idle doing nothing.
Just as well, because if too many cars are on the road at once nobody goes anywhere.......
