This is the reason my Toyota Celica is priceless. It get's 40 mpg, costs about $16 to fill and I have to fill it twice a week at about 900 miles per week.
Are you still going to use your Vette as your daily driver after you have the engine done over? Aren't you eventually getting a 383 or 406 conversion done? Thought I remember seeing something about that?

You're gonna pass me up in a week or so. I'm at 146,6xx. Motor is still strong, but I'm not too sure about the tranny :(
I've doubled the mileage in the 5 years that I've owned it.

Wow! Well it is at 146,080 now.
I've got 4 more days of work which means 400 more miles of commuting this week, plus whatever other driving I do.

Hey, whats wrong with enjoying your ride. I drive mine daily too but its only a 16 mile round trip. My theory is why save the car for the next owner :yesnod:
