If more driving than above it could be your alternator as you said or perhaps something is staying awake and leaching current. Lots of fancy computer controlled circuits and some of them might not time out after the car is shut down!

Sounds like it is time to see a Pro

Good luck. Dave
Yeah, my daily commute is about 20 miles or so each way and the original battery lasted about 3 years so I don't think that's it.

I hear you can go by Pep Boys Auto and they will check the alternator so I think that will be my next step.

Thanks for your help Dave.
