How many people drive Yank V8's as daily drivers

[shovelheadrob]

Ford F350 dually, not strictly my daily as I use my Transit most days for work but it is my other main mode of transportransport.

Yeap x2

As I live in the US.. It's rude not to.. 2015 Mustang GT...
Only get 17mpg, but being $2 / Gal, I can just about cope.

I drove a Corvette C4, 3rd gen Camaro Z28 and a 4th gen Camaro Z28 as dailies up to 2004 but then I bought a new yank and kept it as a garage ornament for 12 years and used a normal car - mainly becaiuse the Yank is modified so insurance became an issue and business use was required plus parking was the third issue.

if i could, I would.

Commute 20 miles each way in my Chevy LSA Supercharged 6.2L V8. Works out cheaper than my previous commute by train into London.

That's a Vauxhall.
Go back to the council thread

And your traffic lights are any less council?

[johnny-55dnj]

Grand Cherokee ST8 driven pretty regularly, avg 16mpg or 3 if you're going over 100mph

[westfield]

I got a 5.7 litre ram on gas/petrol can't believe how economical it is

[chevy-stu]

I used to use my 86' IROC Camaro as a daily for 7 years 93' to 2000, even fitted a tower and dragged my work trailer around a few times a month for last couple of years...

I drove a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis as a daily a couple of years ago and now use a Mustang GT S550.

The crazy thing is, is that it's still cheaper than using the train.

Says a lot about our public transport ticket costs.

I did until 2013 (when the fuel was nearly £1.50/litre) now considering it again. Just wondered if I was in the minority?

My T-bird does about 26mpg on a 50 mile/day commute mainly on the motorway, which considering its a 4.6 I don't think is too bad.

Do you have a cut-off, either on fuel prices (when it goes over a certain figure), or commute distance?

I'd love to run a V8 daily and would if I commuted less.

I do about 14,000 miles a year commuting. And another 10,000 miles a year socially. The 10,000 miles is normally on low mpg cars as is. I just simply cannot afford to do the 14,000 miles a year at low mpg.

Last time I took my Camaro to work it did about 22mpg, much worse than normal running about it in, I think sitting in traffic kills the mpg. Plus the roads are too busy to actually enjoy the performance too, so sort of wasted.

Current daily steed is doing 44mpg+, so half the fuel costs.

My wife work commutes in our 392 Challenger - only 5-6 miles each way - but urban stop and start. I consider it my duty to blow the cobwebs out at the weekend.

That's rather cheating... given your geographical location

2002 Crown Vic Police Interceptor, commuting about 25 miles each day.

I so regret selling my Mercury Grand Marquis (A variant of the Crown Vic) even tho it was the only car I made money on. Free motoring for a year, including fuel and insurance.

I hope to have a Crown Vic or similar again one day.

[ReaperCushions]

I run a 2016 V8 Challenger every day, wife drives a V8 XC90 everyday.


Also 'cheating' like Matt in this game though

Either an F150 Raptor (6.2), C6 Z06 (7.0) or, if sunny, a '59 Cadillac (6.1). 14/18/12mpg. Raptor does the lion's share, but is on LPG, so around 22mpg equivalent.
