only put on about 100 miles here. With gas around $4 a gallon the GP sat in the shed a lot. I hope next summer is better, as i have put my car away for the winter.
How many miles you put on?

Despite high fuel prices ruining my fun, I managed to put just under 1,100 miles on the 442 this year. I put about 20,000 on the Malibu wagon.
about 1/2 mile when i relocated the monte from my mothers house to my new house.
that's probably the most mileage she'll see for a few years, or at least until the engine swap is done.

Damn, I'm all worried about putting too many miles on my car and you guys are trying to put miles on your cars. But then again I drive mine year round; no salt, no snow, barely any rain...hahaha. J/k
I put
80,000 miles on my DD 1997 malibu
15,000 miles on the Monte SS

Wow a lot of people on here drive their cars year-round! that's great! sometime i hope to live somewhere not so snowy in the winter so i can do that and not have to worry about salt getting on my car. Until then i will continue to just try to enjoy the car. Next summer though i am going on a few road trips with it, hopefully i will have the A/C hooked back up in it as well. Just want these gas prices to stay where they are, that would be great
I put the new engine in the SS this last spring, since then I have only put 1300 miles on it. The new engine runs strong and gets decent mileage(17 if I am easy on the go pedal) but after spending the money on the engine this year I have been worried about having problems with the car(and spending more money) so I got into playing with RC cars.

haha i don't even worry about trying to calculate gas mileage, i know the way i drive it would be down right dreadful. but that's not what i built the car for so i don't mind burnin a tank of gas in one weekend....or less
ss4ever, I really like the wheels. 245/50/16s all the way around? I am with you I don't expect any gas mileage when I drop the hammer and play but useing 1/3 less fuel when useing the car to get from a to b is very cool. In part its why I often put 5 or 6 thousand a year on instead of 5 or 6 hundred like many hot rodded gbodys. 9 mpg & 3,000rpms in the slow lane with reparis & high maintenance sucks. I will take a little slower time slip and get it out of the garage. I have a buddy with a 9 second 66 Chevelle who told me last night he wanted to make it more reliable with regular fuel so he could afford to drive it and actually enjoy it more than a couple times a summer. Said draging it to the track with fuel, repairs, etc cost him on average $200 a trip.
Man, it looks like I'm in the lead for most miles per year in a g-body with 20,000+ in my wagon! And that was only january thru august! If I hadn't stopped driving it, it'd be around 27,*** by now... 😀
I miss driving it everyday. I'm having a hard time getting used to my C1500 after driving almost exclusively g-bodys for over 4 years...
Too bad gas didn't drop below $2 ($1.92 here) at the BEGINNING of the summer! I would've driven the 442 more!
