I drive a car that will do nearly 140mph and will get to 60 in around 7 seconds, but in the last 5,000 miles that I have done, according to mr. trip computer, I have averaged the death defying speed of 26mph.

I suppose this is like spending a fortune on an I7 processor, 8gb of ram and a GTX 590 GPU and playing minesweeper on it.

So, fellow inmates of the motors section, what's your average speed over the last couple of thousand miles?

This post is not intended as a 'troll' post, but the reality of my driving has really sunk in and perhaps my next car will be more in keeping with what I do with it . Alternatively, I'll have a mid-life crisis and buy a 911 ;)
 
I reset mine a few weeks ago when I filled up and it was average of 41mph. Since the fill up it's down to around 30mph thats on a bmw e46!

Although over one 300 mile journey I have averaged 82.

No not really.

Around 36mph.
 
As if my Saxo trip does average speed! :p

Had a look at the family 5-Series, we got it new in late 2008 and to-date the average is 35MPH.

Had a journey average of >70MPH for a run from here to Cornwall (or was it Devon? I forget!) before though :D.

Just depends where you drive I guess and Im assuming the time you spend sitting at traffic lights or in queues at 0mph counts as well, so sounds about right really with the amount of roadworks that go on
 
It's about 50 mph or thereabouts over 5,000 odd miles. Over here in the States it's all or nothing, you're either doing 70-80mph on the freeway or 5mpg stop-start through city intersections - fortunately my driving is more the former than the latter :p
