My WS6 pretty much sits in the gararge, I have only put about 2,000 miles on it in the last six months. My DD is a 04 Grand Am.....I did park my Tahoe, 14 MPG was killing me.

I am DD mine right now. I'm buying a piece of **** 4banger to get back and forth to work in. Not only to save on gas money but to keep the miles on the ws6. Sittin at almost 37k right now.

i am really feeling the pinch now. I still DD my 96 K1500. 13 mpg... I just changed plugs and cleaned the K&N so maybe i can get 14 for a while

The car only gets 17-20 depending on driving habits at the time. And i dont need a 3rd car so i just roll with the gas punches.

DD mine...but get like 12 mpg city. So I try and ride the bike as much as possible because getting 35mpg and then watching it take 10$ to fill up isn't too bad!!! I don't know how I'm going to get around come winter time though

i have a DD that i use to go back and forth to work, but when i go out cruising or to a friends i take the firebird. if i'm going out for a few drinks, i'll tend to take the saturn DD... it attracts less attention.

but even my DD is not JDM so taht option would not work for me.

I only drive mine about once a week, but that has nothing to do with gas. I just don't like racking up miles and wear and tear DDing it.

I don't drive my LS1 (as it's the weekend/race car ) but I DO daily drive an Fbody: a 1988 305TBI A4 Firebird Formula. It gets pretty much the same mileage as my LS1, but makes about 300 horsepower less to the wheels.
