How do you figure engine hours to miles?

[Howard O. Truitt]

Andy,
There is a very likely possibility that older coaches could have a significate
number of hours due to idling.

Gentlemen,

A very interesting discussion on engine miles vs. hours.

I'm looking at an 83 FC-35 with 94,000 miles and 2,669 engine miles.
By dividing the two, I come up with 35.2 MPH during its lifetime.

Is that a number that I should be concerned with? Is it too low?

The coach may have sat for periods of time. Maybe this low MPH
indicates it was started periodically but not driven.
