UK/USA average miles driven per year.?

We often hear Americans in a flap because petrol (gas) prices are at an all time high. When I tell them that we pay 3 or 4 times as much in the UK, they usually say "Yeah but we drive several times as far in a year, in the US". I don't think there is a great deal of difference in UK/USA average car milages. Anybody got any accurate figures?

Answers:
When at work (driving the BIG trucks), I turn roughly 175,000 miles per year. That equates to roughly 27,000 gallons (100,000 liters) of diesel per year.

When at home (driving a normal car), I turn roughly 20,000 miles per year. That equates to roughly 1,000 gallons (3,800 liters) of gasoline per year.

25 miles to work,
25 miles back home,
12 miles shopping running errands

Bout 17, 420 a year.don't know if that is less or more, but remember most Americans are bitchy and only care about ourselves.
I am retired and have a 94 F150 that I bought new. It has 100734 miles that's about 8400 miles a year My son lives 35 miles from town and drives it 6 days a week, so he drives over 25000 a year.It's hard to pin down . I would guess it all depends on the distance you live from work. I also would say it's almost 4000 miles from ocean to ocean so if you travel from coast to coast it can add up in a hurry.
I travel about 25k miles a year.
