man... we in here, Canada, pay $1.45/L, that's $5.49/gal.

I fill my tank every 5 days, 16.7 gallon each time... you do the math...

About $550 a month....

Some province in Canada, ie British Columbia and Quebec, even have a higher gas price....

Yeah -- When I was working on my Bachelor's degree I used to work on a masonry crew weekends and vacations -- building block and brick walls. Being entry-level meant that I spent most of my time digging footings, etc. Back-breaking stuff.

My round trip commute is less than 13 miles a day, and I park in a reserved spot in a covered garage. The only time my Z is ever in the sunlight is on the commute home. I really enjoy my time in the Z; more than any other car I've owned in 35 years.

That's why I haven't really considered a daily driver. If the situation were to change, either a longer commute or harsher parking conditions, I'd probably get a Fit or a Yaris for daily driver.

Sadly my Z hasn't been in the garage since I got her home.. it's full and I have been retarded busy.. however, I do wash her fairly frequently and only at dusk so it's not so hot out.. however.. the broken under tray, and PS leak make me sad panda, and I don't want to drive her..
