everyday, about 30-40 miles a day. My bronco is my "gas saver" believe it or not. Only drive my truck when I have to tow or move something, the winter kinda sucks in the bronco,(bbbrrrrr!), but so worth it. During the summer I am going to the lake/wheeling every other weekend in the bronco also, thats about 90 miles round trip. somehow it is still running...

I live too far from my office to drive it every day over 100 miles to and from in rush hour traffic. I drive it when it's not raining or snowing as often as I can usually a couple times a week and mostly on the weekends. No top and no doors doesn't work for a driver in Missouri. 5 years from now though I hope to be retired and living in Arizona, then it can be my daily driver.

Enough, lmao... try at all!!! I drove it about 10 miles when I bought it then parked it in the shop for teardown. It wouldn't pass inspection which means I couldn't get it registered. The day I get to drive it will be a sweet one though:)

I drive my '68 halfcab every day unless it's being fixed or I have a long road trip to get more Bronco parts. I keep saying that when I get it all fixed up I just might drive it less, but we all know that the "day it's finished" will never really come! :cool:

I drove a company truck for 18 years, but I've changed jobs. Now I ride my Harley to work (at a Harley dealership) when the weather is decent and drive my 73 most other times.

I drive mine almost every day. Sometimes drive the old MB 380SL but only when the weather is perfect for it. My Bronco was my main vehicle from 1991 to 2000, then again from 2008-present. I love driving it everyday. It is the only car that I get comments, and thumbs up in almost daily.

How do you (everyone) drive it every day with the type of gas mileage these things get? I would be filling up every two days. I probably get 12 miles a gallon.

My F250 gets 9 MPG so it's better for me to drive my 68 when I can. ;D

Around 13. I've done better but you have to baby it to much. I like the sound of my exhaust! ;D Average MPG for the 1579 mile round trip to VA was 13.2MPG Best was 14.9 on the hi-way and worst was 8.something the two days we ran trails. I kept track of it all. I could do better if I didn't try and keep up with Todd on the hi-way! %)
