    2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8, Got stuck in city traffic last weekend, and averaged 4.8 mpg. I was putting in about $15 a day in gas. Now I don't mind sitting in traffic and I'm not in a rush to go anywhere. Prius Power all the way!

    1996 Dodge Ram V8 Magnum with a long commute.

    Still my daily driver, waiting for dealerships in my area to realize that gas is down and will stay down for election year, so all them used prii are not the little gold mines they used to be. Wow. Run on sentence much?

    Anyhoo, will switch rides when a sub 20k$ used Prius with low mileage crosses my radar.

    The previous car to my 2011 Prius was a 2010 Prius that burned up in a fire (I'll never get an engine block heater again). My last non-Prius was in 2007 when I traded in my '99 Camry.

    2007 VW GTI. Car was totaled last month when I got rear ended at a stop light.

    Just bought a 2011 Winter Gray Prius III to replace it. I thought I'd try something different considering I didn't really take advantage of the GTI's acceleration and handling in 95% of my driving. Love the Prius so far, though the two things I do miss are the GTI's maneuverability in tight spots (I love small cars for this reason) and the GTI's xenon headlights (I couldn't believe how dim the Prius' headlights seemed to me at first after being used to the xenon lights for years).

    I previously owned a 2005 Scion tC. Occasionally I would drive it on the track and attended car show events with my club. Unfortunately, driving into a sink hole and severely damaging the wheels, body & frame caused me to sell the vehicle. I currently own a 2011 Gen. 3 Silver Prius (base trim). Speed does not amuse me anymore, but instead I have a new hobby, "hypermiling".

    x2 lol we had two drinkers.... The 335i was ridiculous... Glad I got BMW to buy it back... gas gas gas gas gas... fast fast fast sporty sporty sporty there is nothing that performs or drives like one, but mine was either built on a Friday or a Monday and the Germans were having no part in it. Gas every week and Premium Fuel.....

    The X350 a little more forgiving, "a little" but maintenance was starting to get pricey... but gas gas gas every 2-3 days not the best car to commute in for mpg but nice comfy ride
