mileage -to -hours
(OP)
Is there a published standard to convert mileage of vehicle life in automotive design to an "on time" hours of use for the electrical devices? I have "heard" of using and average vehicle speed of 30mph to first determine an appropriate operational/durability life, e.g., 150,000 miles becomes 5000 hurs of operation. Thanks.

When I haven't reset it, over long periods of time and without including long trips, it usually shows right around 36 mph, not far from the 50 kph Greg noted.

If we included country cars as well the avergae speed would be a bit higher, my commute car shows 67 kph as a long term average, my commute includes several sections of unpoliced (ahem) country roads.
