I drive mine everyday..during the winter. I will ride the bike when it warms up. My Sgt. has an 05 SRT10 QC RAM and turns out the dept is taking the take home cars and he will have to start driving the beast to work everyday so he is a little worse off than i am.

Sunday nights I drive 2 hours to the job site and friday night I drive it 2 hours home. Once I am there I go through about a tank of fuel just from driving to the place we stay at and running errands throughout the week. 2 tanks of fuel a week kind of sucks. I gotta get this thing closer to 20mpg on the hwy. 15 isnt cutting it.

It's 5 and 1/2 miles round trip home to office, I typically put on 5-6K/year. I deal with the mpg to have the convenience of a truck, and thats pretty easily managed driving so little.

My DD. My rounder is a pinch less than sixteen miles daily. If I only commute, I can go two weeks on half a tank. There are inevitable errands, so I usually use three or four tanks a month.

Mine is definitely my daily driver. Can't imagine driving anything else. I had a Crossfire Convertible that I bought thinking I'd drive it to save on gas, but I found myself driving the truck more often, so I just sold it. My wife drives an '08 Hummer H3, so she gets about 1 mpg less than me.... we're a very economical family. Oh, and my commute is 22 miles each way.

Daily driver here, but probably going to get rid of her in the next couple of months and get another truck for work and a car that I can use for a daily driver.

I need a smaller truck for parking in certain areas and I want a car, just to have a car
