I will probably drive my Vette more, since it gets better gas mileage then my Tahoe or Passat.

Absolutely not, as I get older and older I realize more and more that I can not take my car, money or unused gas with me.........

I'll just bite the bullet, because it's hard to resist driving the beauty when the weather is right!

I figured as much as I am the same way. Being we are lucky enough to afford a Vette I think we can swing keeping the tank full.

I agree, I'll continue driving it regardless. What's even more funny is my work is close enough to bike to and yet I still drive!:smilielol5:

My Vette just waits for summer, the prices go up every summer anyway...so I'm gonna drive her all I can!

I got 26.4 MPG highway drivin down to West Coast Corvette's yesterday, it get's better mileage than my Ford explorer, the Vette is so aerodynamic once it's rollin it just takes a sip to keep it there, mine loves 70MPH it gets quiet and just purrs along!.
