That's a loaded question, isn't it?

The answer is "none", of course. I only wanted the 4WD for winter time (we
get out-of-the-blue blizzards here a lot at 7200 ft. and driving a RWD pickup
in snow is the worst) and we need a truck for all the landscaping/gardening
my wife likes to do (hobby).

It's not my first choice for a daily driver (much rather have an Cobalt XFE),
but I'm trying to make the best of it. I console myself with the knowledge
that not only am I getting decent economy with it, but I'm keeping it out of
the hands of someone who might drive it 50+ miles a day at 20 mpg. (I live
only 8 miles from work.)
