Not quite a "daily driver" but that's only because it only comes out when it's sunny. 1985 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. If that's not being driven I have an 08 Rav4 with 40K on the odo that I drive around.
Almost forgot! It gets 25 mpg on the hwy and that's with some "spirited driving". When I say "highway" I was on US 50 through WV. The RAV only does 3mpg better and isn't nearly as much fun.

2014 Mazda 6 Touring with manual transmission. 32 - 34 mpg, ridiculously smooth and quiet. Plus, no governor for when I get the rare priority call out to work.

I drive a 2000 Chrysler Sebring convertible instead of my truck most of the time.

I wish it was a cooler car, but there is no rust and it only has 87,000 miles and gets about 21-22 on my drive to work when the truck only gets about 12-13

If you believe that climate alarmist schme, go for it. But if you simply look at historical CO2 levels over past centuries, you'll see that we are near a historic low. Plants need CO2. The more plants, the more life. High CO2 isn't unhealthy. Ever heard of somebody keeling over dead in a commercial greenhouse full of imported CO2? No.

So we're doing our part to raise CO2, no matter what AlGorythm and Obamao bleat. See my sig.

The carbon dioxide level is dangerously low

I figure my contribution to the environment is all the flies, mosquitos, moths and other destructive pests I've eliminated by crashing headlong into them at 65-80 mph over the last 17 years and 240,000 miles!

I have an old ram V10 three quarter ton and a three quarter ton suburban with the 8.1 gas and a Chrysler Imperial with a 440 magnum. I'm also getting a 472 Cadillac.

I wish

My daily driver is a supercharged Jaguar for a 50 mile daily round trip. About 17 mpg vs 11 mpg for the F250. A vastly different driving experience and takes discipline to keep speed under triple digits when traffic allows. Mileage will drop quickly than. I will occasionally take the truck to work when the camper is not installed. Won’t fit in parking garage at work with camper.

My daily driver is a 2001 Chevy Prizm. I bought this car new when my work commute was a bit long. Car has 270K and still runs great. I'm waiting for something major to go before I throw it away.

My 2003 VW GTI 1.8T w/5-speed manual is a hoot to drive.

Probably a bit more eco-friendly than the truck, I get just over 20MPG running premium gas in it.
 


Quick Reply: if you have a more eco-friendly daily driver, what is it?
