Extremely high/low average segment lengths?

I'm cheating to get to SE this year with an unlimited flight pass so I have a freakishly high average segment length:

For 2010: 94,465 Air Canada Status Miles
For 2010: 10 Air Canada Status Flight Segments
= 9446.5 miles/segment..

Was just curious to see if anybody (especially with all butt-in-seat miles) had any other extremely high or low ratios?

I thought unlimited passes were flat in terms of milage (ie x pts /month)

I presume its 10,000 status miles w/0 segments.

Even with 60K in unlimited flight passes, that's still over 3400 miles per segment, an impressive feat

I'm not sure what constitutes extremely high or low, but I have about 3,000 miles / segment. No flight passes.

I thought I was unusual, I'm averaging 2,553 miles / segment. At 11 segments I'm one RT away from requalifying for E. Last year I averaged 2,122 miles / segment and I blame the increase in BD abandoning LHR-DUB -- I keep finding EI has the only reasonable connections and/or the only reasonable prices. Oh, this is without any flight passes.

Not sure about "freakishly" low, but... 38,508/58 segs = 664 miles/seg.

For some reason I have a vision of Robert Downey Jr. and the Iron Man theme in my head...

What's the cost of the unlimited passes and how many guaranteed miles do you get per month?
