I went over 200,000 today, not all caching of course.
I use 2 vehicles. My primary vehicle has 178,00 miles on it. However, if it is really hot, then I take the other vehicle w/ AC. 🙂
We use two vehicles also. The Main caching vehicle is the Geo-Jimmy currently at 177,000 miles.
We just bought the other one and it has under 1500 miles so far, only about 30 miles caching. The TB has not come for the CX-7 yet. 🙁
Our caching ride is a Buick Lesabre that has 241,000 miles on it. Thats probably why we only go caching close to home anymore, though we did go caching in the U.P. of michigan a month ago and averaged 28MPG for the trip. It’s probably getting about time we get a new ride, though it’s nice not having a car payment!
P.S. This topic reminds me of the old locationless cache ” 100,000 Mile Rest Stop”. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=5cb2e927-4e8a-433c-9185-2922b644ceef
2005 Mazda Tribute… over 40,000 miles of which 95% are probably from caching. We bought it new and haven’t had it quite 2 years yet.
TEwell i have over 43,000 miles on my Escape and 149774 miles on my motorcycle when i got the bike it was at 12,0000 something… and the Escape was brand new when i bought it.. of course not all of it was geocaching, (500miles trips (oneway) home will start to added up)
Bought my Jeep new 1-20-2001, I have 140,000 on it. Do use it for work as well though….
We’re taking the 5th on this one, okay? We could sound really great saying that we only have about 900 miles on it. Problem is, we just brought it home last Wednesday. And we aren’t back at work yet. We’ll plead that lots of those miles came from heading up north to visit with the in-laws, Timberline Echoes! LOL Go mapquest the distance and see if the math adds up!
It’s a 2008 Saturn Vue. So far, Trekkin’ loves it, especially the xm radio. Methinks he’ll be keeping that once the freebie time is up. Decadence from the company with an ad campaign extolling the virtues of rethinking excess!
I’ve got 103,000 on my ’02 Mercury Cougar. She still gets 28mpg. I’d have to say about 75% of those miles are directly related to geocaching. She survived the flood and she’s paid for, so I’ll keep her 😀 .
Well we just got this geomobile in October so we have 11,000 miles on it. It was our source of transportation to GW5. It is a Ford 500. Very roomy and nice size for me being taller. We have Sirus Satellite radio and we did just purchase the life time contract after the free time.
I mostly cache in my ’94 Nissan Sentra, a decidedly non-sexy, but reliable and somewhat economical caching/commuting vehicle. The best part is, it is paid for, and only has 84,000 miles on it. Should last me another 3-5 years (unless it rusts away before then).
We bought our Jeep Grand Cherokee new in 2002 and just rolled it over 117,000 miles this morning. It is my commute that puts all the miles on (25 miles one-way) but I wish it was caching instead.

My primary vehicle is a blue 2003 Pontiac Vibe with just over 110,000 on it, Don’t want to even guess the mileage directly from geocaching but it did take us to GW5 getting 37 mpg and we are driving to Seattle on a geocaching trip next month in it.
115,000 since March 2002.
We have a 2006 Toyota with 43K on it. I would guess 32K of that is all geocaching. We put on quite a few miles every weekend. Auto routing really helps reduce the total miles driven during a cache run!
