DD here too... much better than the durango we had, or hubs truck ( gas guzzling F150).... and about the same as my former charger.

only car i own, DD

Chaotic73 · 03-03-2011, 08:22 AM

My DD, but I do have a company work van that I get to bring home. So I don't have to drive it to and from work.

Brownhornitt · 03-03-2011, 08:47 AM

I don't DD it, I AD it.

All day, baby!

snokid · 03-03-2011, 08:49 AM

St. Louis has pretty cheap gas, we're at $3.29 per gallon for regular after the price hike last night.

That is funny, I used the same sales pitch on my wife. I was driving a Silverado and averaging 17mpg. I only have 1200 miles on my LS so far. This last tank I averaged 23. I am hoping it improves a little more once it is broken in.

DD here, especially hard to deal with because my last car got 38 MPG on the Highway. I usually see about 29 Highway with my LS, but most of my driving is stop and go in the city at about 18 MPG. These prices are hurting my wallet :(

Daily Driver here too. I think one of my best decisions I made was opting for the v6. My commute back and forth to work I get 28mpg. I think people dont realize how much of a difference a few mpg makes especially in your wallet. Mutiply those couple mpg differences times how many gallons our cars hold and its a signifigant amount especially with gas rising.

Another DD checking in... (except for snow, ice or chance of hail) :( I'm averaging @19 combined city & highway- my 40 minute commute is 1/2 & 1/2.

My other options are a big diesel truck and a 15 mpg Trailblazer; I'll keep driving the one that puts the grin on my face!

My wife drives the 2LT as a daily driver. Short distance. Only 4K miles since October 09.

Murph0408 · 03-03-2011, 09:43 AM

NYJets77 · 03-03-2011, 09:50 AM

I drive it as much as possible.

heRS · 03-03-2011, 09:56 AM

Mine's stored til the roads are better but once spring has sprung it will be my dd. It gets better gas mileage than my winter beater mazda 4x4 pickup so I'm looking forward to getting back in the Camaro for so many reasons.
