Idle/Drive Ratio

Just curious how my truck compares.

2015 Ram Cummins, just under 87k miles and I bought it new. I'm currently showing the following:

Idle: 95 Hours
Drive: 2736 Hours

How about you guys?

    If I recall my idle time is about 1/3 of the total hours. Makes a difference if you live in the wide open spaces of Idaho vs the NYC metro area where I was living when I bought the truck....

    Bought it with 56k on it about 2 weeks ago.

    You sure those are correct? 56,000 miles in 365 hours is 153.4 average mph!
    Even 736 hours is an average of 76 mph, not realistic.
