The Monte has been reduce to my winter beater and general commuter car.
I go about 42 Km's (26 Mi)each way, but I avoid the major highways, way too much stop and go. So instead of a quick 401/404 trip (Under 20 minutes outside of rush hour), I take the north route, passing some farmers fields and small towns. A nice drive on a good day, is just under an hour. With bad rain or snow, I've been well over 2 hours. With all the stop and go, plus long warmups on cold days, I'm down to 14MPG. After the re-built tranny I had the DoD tuned out.
In the summer, I bring the Camaro on nice days. It gets slightly better mileage than the Monte.

Yup, used to rack up over 15k miles a year in the 97.
