Daily driver here. Getting 20 MPGs in the city

shinzon · 03-02-2011, 09:40 PM

1 year driving 21,00mi

seen ice, sleet, snow, rain, wind

I would recomend that everyone who has one drives it. What happens when the whole middle east goes muslin bananas ? Which is VERY likely. gas could easily go 6-7$ a gallon given:

1 Middle East revolution gone wrong + 1 Hurricane in the Gulf

The US has no option but to pay it. I am getting my miles in now.

Part of me is curious about the Volt. I dunno. How long can this continue ? The end can be near or far away , who knows ?

My 1SS is a dailh driver. I've had it a little over a year and I'm close to 35K on it. I guess if gas gets too high, I'll just use my motorcycle more.

lol I wish I get 18.5 avg... my avg speed is 37.5 mph

If you are concerned about gas prices tho a SS prolly wasn't the best choice for you

Please stop the panicing. Jeezus.

I drive 30 miles a day at 15 mpg = 2 gallons x $3.80ea = $7.60 / day.

If the price of gas doubles to $7.60/gal and I don't adjust my driving habits, then my cost goes up $7.60 a day, or about $200 extra a month. I could brown bag my lunches and make up the difference easily.

Not a game changer, and I won't be dumping my LS3 on a freaked out car market. I would lose a lot more than $200 a month. But in the long run, the depreciation of a collapsed muscle car market will take its toll when I (try to) sell it. It would be cheaper to keep the Camaro for 20 years and drive a sub compact to work than to dump the Camaro. On the plus side, with fewer people buying big V8's, will mean ours get rarer.

Who tha hell said anything about me being concerned about gas prices and who are you to tell me what car is good for me? I was just stating what mpg's I am getting.........get off your damn high horse

anglwngss · 03-02-2011, 10:44 PM

Mine's a daily driver, too. Only thing that'll change for me is not as much Starbucks or eating out or getting other non-essential items.

I never understood those that see it fit to purchase another car to save gas. Maybe if the car was $1000 or less? But to spend several thousand to save $1.00 per gallon is ridiculous. At least in my opinion.

I agree 100% I'm keeping my car if gas is 10 bux per gallon. I still need reliable transportation no matter what gas cost and I already have the camaro , no sense in selling now.

Daily driver 8 months out of the year.

chandler · 03-02-2011, 10:50 PM

DD for me. I am 3.5 miles from the office so gas prices don't concern me. The thrill of driving it daily outways the paranoia of a daily driver. I am just cautious about where I park mostly. Plus if needed, we can take my wife's Trailblazer so I am not forced to drive the beast everywhere. Especially if rain is coming

. So I guess I am a daily driver with options.
