Are you driving less?
 

So, with all of the talk of high gas prices, are YOU actually driving LESS?


Apparently, I am (road trips, not included). Since November 2007, I've driven my cars a cumulative total of ~750 miles less than the previous twelve months (not including, of course, road trips, for which I currently rent). However, I do have about 2 more months to go since I last noted mileages for my MCs in November 2007....


BUT...if you break it down by car, only one of mine has been driven less. Since November 2007, the "count" looks like this...

'87 MC LS (daily driver) ... driven 1700 miles LESS


The rest ... have all been driven MORE miles than I drove them in all of 2007, with at least another month to go in 2008....

'81 MC SC ... 245 miles MORE

'79 MC Landau ... 260 miles MORE

'76 MC Landau ... 210 miles MORE

'72 MC ... 245 miles MORE


...AND...if this trend continues, I may end up driving my older 4 MCs more miles THIS year than I have each of the last few years....

RE: Are you driving less?
 

We've actually driven more this year than usual. We've been on several event runs in Lucy, LadyT's '07 Solstice GXP, and the couple of Monte meets in my Intimidator SS. I'm guessing were about 5000 miles over what we usually drive in a year. We usually fly to our destinations, but we drove this year. Most of the runs were a blast, and we were never the ones that drove the longest distance. The 1st run was to eastern Ohio in May, where we actually drove 2 cars. The 2nd was Keegans Intimidator SS, returning it to him from repair at ZZPerformance in G.R.
Flying isn't cheap either, and this year, cuz of Lucy, we drove.

I think so, my daily driver just see's runs to work, grocery and occasionally to eat.

The SS has been out once this summer on a trip to Hilton head.

Hmm...that skate/surfboard probably attracts the ladies, too, eh, Space? ;)

Oh...and the answer is...maybe.

yessir, gas is bad in atlanta up to like 4.50 a gallon downtown, so i've been riding the train more

RE: Are you driving less?
 

Am I driving less? Heck, I'm driving while I type this. :D (just kidding)

No, actually. Compared to my previous car, I'm driving my Monte more. It's so much fun to drive. (seriously)
The premium gas thing does kinda bite a bit though.

RE: Are you driving less?
 

I am driving a lot less. I have been averaging 50% less than last year.

RE: Are you driving less?
 

Holy cow ... gas isn't that high here...at least, not yet, anyway.... :(

At least gas has dropped a little bit here. I've seen $3.419 for regular. STILL ridiculous!
