Or is it just your weekend whip? your summer heater?

I have been reading about the crazy fuel consumption with this car.

Daily driver. Getting winter tires/wheels and at the end of it all, it's "just" a car

But I do have a short drive to the commuter train for most of the week.

It's my intent for my C63 to be my daily driver as well. My communte is about 8 miles to and 8 miles from work. 75% of this is on the highway. I also do some in-town driving during the work day. In sum, I average about 12,000 miles per year in total driving. I am a little concerend about the gas mileage, but to be frank, it's not much worse than my SUV, so I am not planning a major increase in fuel expense.

My commute is very long so it's not my DD.

But the days I do take it to work, I am smiling every mile!

My daily driver is the C63 and it has been great except for the Gas consumption, which is pretty high.

My weekend car is the Audi S5 with a manual 6 speed.

This is my daily driver - 12 miles one way to work with a mixture of road types..

After revamping the filters I get 22 on the highway and average of 17 combined and this is the same as my C6 Corvette.

My annual mileage works out to 10000. To be fair, part of my entertainment budget goes to the car, it only cost 2 bucks to pull the trigger once in a while.

I will run an occasional SCCA Solo II event, first in this car is August 10th.

This is my Swiss Army knife of cars, does it all for me and makes me smile.
