I'm in Colorado and have been using Squirt for a few years now and if I had to guess I'd say I probably re-apply every ~15 hours or so, less during dry summer/fall, more in the wet spring/fall. I notice the chain not feeling so great after about 7 or 8 rides on average (if the ride is like 7-8 miles), which would put me in that ~50-60 mile re-application range. Which sorta tracks with their recommendation of anywhere from 30 - 300 mile re-application "distance" (I'd guess 300 mile would be for a road bike)
I gave it a try a couple years back on suggestion from my LBS for 2 reasons; the price was right and no PFAS (minor acts to save the water)
