I mean I appreciate buying a 426hp car that gets at least 16mpgs.
Don't get me wrong I did use my Camaro as my daily driver for my first year of ownership. When I originally bought the Camaro I had a 8 mile commute so MPG was never a factor for me. However I had a change of jobs that requires 25,000 miles of road travel and I couldn't do that to the Camaro. For me the Camaro something I want to keep as kind of a collector that I can use, unlike older cars. Luckily I was in a position to purchase the Fiesta for cash so I could bank on my mileage reimburisement. I guess you gotta go with what works for you when you buy a vehicle. There are a lot of people who drive trucks who average close or less than 10 MPG and they use very little if any of the utility but are completely with their choice.
