My 74 is driven from Central Florida to Albany Ga. for work, then driven about 6 miles each way, well at least when I was in Albany.

Mine is my DD. 17 miles each way. This is a new job, so I'll probably have to buy something a little more economical, even though I love driving it everyday.

I don't drive mine to work, but I do drive it on a daily basis. It's still a trail truck, but it's too much fun to drive to just let it sit in the garage.:)

Hi,
My 66 is my daily driver. I'm driving between 30-50miles a day. I coast in neutral between lights or in traffic whenever possible, don't floor it too much, have a 5speed w/overdrive, a newer 2v500cfm carb, 33's, and 3.50 gears. It's fun but I can't leave anything in the car unattended other wise it takes a hike. (I live in West L.A.) I'm planning on installing 4.11s one day to improve mpg.
Got to love it to drive it everyday in traffic but I do.
:cool:

I couldn't say it better myself . Luckly my commute is only about 20-30mi depending which shop they have me at . Just wish there was some dirt in between ;D

Wow. After hearing how many miles you guys drive everyday, I'm wondering what kind kind of mileage you get. I get about 10mpg on a good day with 3:50 gears and 33's and a big cam with an NV3550. What kind of mpg's? Can we add that to this thread? Planning on getting 4:11's when I can.

That would just take the fun right out of it, if I started checking MPG's. But I would say on average, mine gets about 12 MPG. C4, carbed with a stock 2BBl, 3.50's, 35's.

My 69 is a DD while my 76 undergoes the knife to be a more comfortable DD. My commute is 30 miles each way. Love every minute of it. Well most of it ;)
