Slow down and watch for cops. This town is crawling with speed traps and there seems to be a cop every three blocks or so.

Gas mileage is something that is good anywhere, but it's particularly good in towns where there are toll roads. Since you'll likely be paying for a toll tag, you should try and minimize your expenses and save on how much gas you consume. Lots of decent craigslist cars in the metroplex-- be thorough ... (more) and diligent. If you have time, stick to craigslist you'll find a better deal. Stay away from Vandergriff brand-- bad experiences abound from me.

My wife and I have a drive that we love to make anytime either of us has had a particularly rough day. It's driving down BL rd. Until we make it to the red flashing lights on the radio towers. It's a drive we made by accident one night when we first began dating and now it's one that brings positive ... (more) vibes and serenity to us on multiple occasions.

Hwy 161 - It's a tollway, so it's minimum stress driving and just smooth new roads that make driving great. I've never seen crazy traffic on this road and there are no speed traps. This is part of why I love it so much.

Randol Mill - Since Grand Prairie, is near Arlington, I love driving on Randol Mill near the Dallas Cowboy Stadium. I've seen a couple of Cowboy players driving out of the stadium, which makes it my favorite road to drive on.

Avoid rush hour if possible. 303 Pioneer Pkwy to the north is a great alternative.

If you are driving to/from work in this area, avoid a standard transmission. You will wear your clutch out and your leg will cramp.

Interstate 20 is very dependable and predictable as far as traffic goes. I know the traffic patterns, heavy in the morning on the way to work and heavy on the way home. However, outside of rush hour, its a very pleasant experience.

Interstate 20/Carrier Pkwy - Carrier Pkwy is easily accessible and has a ton of options as far as retail establishments and restaurants. I love stopping off for a quick bite to eat at Chick-Fil-A, or if I want to sit down there are several mid-range restaurants.
