How Many Miles do You Put on Delivering Pizza 11 Hours A Day.

A lot. I set this trip odometer last Saturday Afternoon. Nearly 120 miles a day. So 11 miles an hour. That MPG is pretty great too considering probably less than 5% those miles are on the highway cruising. And even when it’s on the highway it’s only for a mile or 2 as we only deliver 5 miles out from the restaurant, which is in the middle of town.

@hfv Yeah, it adds up.

@hfv My favorite job was delivering pizzas. It was fun and I made good money. Lifted All wheel drive v8 Jeep CJ7 . 8 miles per gallon. Yeah I’m not real smart on vehicle choices.

@454ssracetruck Ha! That's what my best friend delivered pizza in back in the day. I delivered in my '89 Olds Toronado Trofeo. Unless we got a snow storm, then my dad would let me borrow his '95 K1500. Those were good times.

@shop-teacher Good times indeed. My back up ride for delivery was a 86 s10 blazer that ate transmissions. Her s10 ate 6 trans before a manual got swapped in. We ran it till at least 2000. East Lansing.
Edit. I ran the Cj from 96 til 2013. It finally rusted out.

@454ssracetruck That's impressive that the CJ lasted that long. We delivered from '97-99ish, and my buddy's CJ was already a rusty pile back then. We riveted all those diamond plate patches on the tub.
