I know there is a category already for 3k or less but just to add another category to break it down even more lol... idk just a thought

 

umm i think i put around 12000-15000 miles on mine in a year. well it's about to turn over 38000 miles and i got it two years ago in may with only 18000 so that sounds about right. and i usually get 30+mpg on the highway (record is 46mpg on a HUGE flat straight with the cruise control on =D) and i think i get around 19ish in the city (stupid supercharger & stoplights lol)

 

I don't think you'll be put so much mileage on in the near future SpinEm! That was probably insensitive. But you'll probably be back in the saddle before me.

I drive mine as much as anyone probably, but only for 6 months out of the year, so it's more like 12,000kms per year I put on. It'll be in storage until Mar/April and has been since Oct. I am expecting to use it for a road trip in early February to attend a very special Great American Race though...

 

nah its cool. i hate being away from her more then anything but i try to look at it on the bright side and tell myself that between the last 3 weeks without her i've spared over 1000+ miles between going to the beach, or to work, or bayfront, or anything of that nature. but if my rents bring her home this weekend that's like over 600 miles on her right there but at least she will be home and maybe shell just sit until i earn her back and save miles that way. idk

 

You got an Intimidator - are you sure it's a she...

 

lol well its not a real intimidator but idk people have asked me why it's a she but i dont really have a good answer to that lol i just say its the girl intimidator since the male one is retired dumb i know but it makes me laugh

 

I fished her out of the river a year ago november put her on the road early spring. she on the road 120 miles each day Monday thru Friday and Saturday on occasion.

 

Back when my monte was my daily driver in high school, I did 10-12k per year. Since I got a couple other DD's and did the L67 swap, its dropped considerably- due to downtime from various powertrain projects and repairs- its dropped to under 1k per year. Last year she sat in storage almost the entire year because she got broken into in late 2008, so mileage dropped to maybe 50-100 miles for the year. This year, with how close we finally are to getting a house- its probably going to drop to 0 until I get the RWD swap done- although I may take her out one last time before the swap begins for fun and motivation.

As far as MPG goes, my best estimate is mid-high teens (haven't driven it a lot since the swap)- thats all city.

Engine is of course a whipple supercharged 3800 on 9.5:1 compression with a big cam.

Hearing about you guys with Montes that are a few years older than mine with half the mileage makes me feel slightly guilty for driving so much. Then I just think of how I now have two cars to split the mileage between. Of course the Monte is still going to be the daily driver.
