How to say "mileage" in Japanese

• マイレージ
  nounThe loanword, used for mileage in the rewards sense: miles accumulated with an airline or similar program and redeemed for tickets, rather than for distance travelled.
• 里程りてい
  nounMileage as the distance covered along a road, route, or journey; it also serves simply as 'distance'. It is not the word for reward miles.
• 里数りすう
  nounMileage or distance, in meaning matching 里程; itself a less common word that learners will seldom need, since 里程 covers the same sense.
• 走行距離そうこうきょり
  nounMileage in the concrete sense of how far a vehicle has travelled — a car's odometer total, for instance; the word to use when English 'mileage' means miles driven.
  あと５００００マイルほど走行距離そうこうきょりを出だしてみたかったのだが、高速道路こうそくどうろで故障こしょうしてしまった。修理しゅうりとなるとえらく金かねがかかってとても無理むりだろう。↗

  I had hoped to get another 50,000 miles out of my car, but it gave up the ghost on the expressway and it would cost too much to fix it.

Use 「マイレージ」 for reward miles from airline and similar programs, 走行距離 for the distance a vehicle has travelled, and 里程 or 里数 for mileage as the distance of a journey or route; all four are less common choices.
