Mine is my daily driver, road trip rig, and when ever I get a chance and have extra gas...I cruise it a bit.

My truck is used for everything...drove it from Minnesota so it takes road trips, I drive it daily now that the festiva took a crap (and I drove it almost daily before that), and we use it to do basically all the pulling/carrying/pushing (work) since my dad's F-150 is too much of a lightweight. I love driving it around, and I still think I get abnormally high gas mileage (like 12-18 mpg) maybe I am calculating wrong but oh well.

I drive mine everywhere. It is my only vehicle. It gets about 11mpg around town, and 12.5mpg on the highway. Hopefully it will get 13-14 after i put the new heads on it and raise the compression. In the past two years it has left me stranded twice....once when a tire blew out and i had no spare, and once when it overheated (bad thermostat). Latley, i have been using it for work, like hauling around my riding lawn mower, firewood, old shingles, and just about anything else. That is nice though, i make money hauling stuff for various odd jobs i do.

Last month I drove from Zillah Wa. to Prescott Az. in my 350 powered 72 International Scout, I put on over 3,000 miles. Once there I won first place for the best modified Scout II. I got 16.5 mph on the highway (14 with a head wind). Thats with 307 gears.

I use mine for everything except road trips, trying to keep the miles down.

It used to be my daily driver. Now I just cruise it. However, the pigs in our town make it very difficult. I do not know why they have to have a corn cob up their a## all of the time.

Mines acruiser right now, but I am not above working it if need be. I have enough other vehicles that it only leaves the garage when the sun is shining, or there is a ricer in the neighborhood.
