Well I feel your pain, owning a SRT8 for 8 years and dealing with $210 a week in gas for my 120 mile round trip commute back in 07-08 made me a believer that some of our toys are just not meant to be DD for the longer commutes IMO. Although I've never contemplated getting rid of it, I did make a Smart adjustment and now I just drive what I want, when I want to and still have fun without giving up my passion for cars. Blessed to be able to have 5 of my own, but the SmartCar is what burns up the road the most.

For example $20 in gas:

SRT8 = To the mailbox and back
Nismo= 1 round trip to work
VW CC= 1 and a half round trips to work
Lincoln LS = 1 round trip to work
SmartCar= All week
