Daily driving a ZR-1 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Daily driving update. Got about 17mpg on my drive into the city in the morning, which is a mix of neighborhoods and traffic. Then I left Atlanta in five o'clock traffic yesterday afternoon, stop 'n go for a while until I cleared the city, and then headed south. 250 miles later I arrived in Thomasville averaging 25.5mpg, not bad at all. Nearly as good as my former M3 and a bit better than the 308 gets on the same trip. It would have been over 26 but those south GA back roads are too tempting.

One thing for sure, I HAVE to upgrade the headlights. These old sealed beam blob lights are just pathetic, and downright dangerous in the rain. I've got new E-code H4s on the way, will be a huge improvement.
