Is your VX your main form of transportation?

[Aello]

So I am curious....Do you guys use your VX as your daily driver? If so how are you guys handling the price of gas?

[CrnCnn]

I use mine as a daily driver. The gas isnt a real big deal since before buying a second vehicle I was driving a 94 SUburban that was very thirsty

My VX is my daily car, driving everywhere, gas prices? well im just dealing with that

[Tobert]

I drive mine everywhere in the cool season. In the summer, I ride the motorcycle unless I either need to haul more stuff or it's raining hard. I think my yearly gas usage averages out in the high 20's between the two.

My VX is my daily driver, but I ride my motorcycle as much as possible to give the VX a break.

... how are you guys handling the price of gas?

I converted mine to solar power about a year ago.

daily driver, as well. weekends are usually reserved for the wife's 'minivan' - her Xterra. a bit more practical for the family and loads of groceries, etc.

re: gas - not much to do but bear with it. not too bad after the initial couple months of gettin' used to the price increase.

the 'smiles per miles' seem to make it worth while, though.

Well it's nice to know I'm not alone here.

I have to agree with 2K1...it is the smiles per miles that keeps me loving the VX!

Not daily, 0177 doesn't come out in rain, never goes to any public place where it would be parked, high traffic situations, freeway/interstate/city driving are all avoided. No short trips, and almost never after dark. Too many boring cars in the world to abuse this cool one. Other than that, I pretty much drive it all the time

[Aello]

Hey Chopper.....those are pretty kewl rides you have in your gallery!

I converted mine to solar power about a year ago.

Ha! That's extra funny coming from "Nocturnal"VX!!!


As for Daily driver: YEP! About 40miles a day and loving it. My 65 Skylark was averaging about 15mpg before the VX so it's about the same. I'm hoping to figure out how to squeeze a couple more MPG's out of it if I can.

I converted mine to lpg.(1/3) the price of petrol!
