I use mine as an everyday driver right now - have been for the last 6 months or so. I hate to rack up the miles, but I'd also hate to go back to driving a "lesser" vehicle! The ride can be a bit rough, but I personally like that retro '84 Corvette ride quality - kind of reminds me of those weight loss jiggle belt machines they used to have (unfortunately it's not helping me lose any weight yet!). As far as gas mileage, I never seem to measure up - I don't drive the VX particularly hard, and I do a mix of city vs highway driving - but my mileage is normally in the 13.5 - 15 mpg range
