Well, I drive almost 80 miles roundtrip/day on the days I work...so you can see why my GTO is strictly a weekend/play car and I drive my little Mazda or ride my motorcycle to work. 15-18 mpg just isn't going to work for me.

Last I checked today, gas is still $3.75/gal here...down from the $4.15/gal it was awhile ago, but nowhere near $3/gal yet...and I seriously doubt it will get there. OPEC has gotten spoiled with the price they've been getting for oil, and I'm sure a production cut is just around the corner...well, either that or some Arab Sheik will sneeze and a barrel of oil will jump up $20.

However, I'm sure the majority of August's Silverado buyers did so because of the incentives and the employee discount...let's see how many Silverados are sold come October/November/December, when employee pricing is nowhere to be found.
