How many miles on stock clutch?

This is a loaded question because driving style, mods and payload figure in heavily, but I was curious what some of you guys with stock or near stock configurations have experienced?

I have 186,000 on mine and I run empty mostly and don't tow anything of significance. I always start out in 1st and just let the clutch out so I can't imagine the clutch sees all that much wear. Is it reasonable to get 250,000 or 300,000 out of the stock clutch under these "light duty" conditions?

Just curious.
