Nah, all that extra work will cut into the driving time.

I'll just eat less, so I can drive the same.

With gas prices so low for so long, we can use the savings to fuel the future.
Regarding our other vehicles. If the American market was more concerned with fuel conservation rather than wastefulness, we wouldn't be driving gas guzzlers and we could use that savings for our toys.

I guess I will just have to start stealing it! On second thought, my wife is a chemist. If I can get her to develop, say, an alternative fuel that is $.30/gallon, then I would be able to afford all the $4.00/gallon gas I could want! Oh wait....

Just pay the $4.00.

What other choice do we have?

People have been doing it in California, Hawaii, Japan and other places for years.

It's been $4/gallon in Germany since the 70's. You should consider yourself lucky...

Save the politics for the forums where the right wing losers hang out.

I know it's tough... you've got a 180mph. supercar that gets 25mpg. What do you want? A free lunch?

Dont blame the liberals for high gas prices and gas guzzler cars. It usually the republicans like Bush that want the high prices and gas guzzlers (ie tax credit for a business that will purchase a Hummer).
And yes guys I agree, lets keep the politics and religion (evilness) where it belongs.

I dont know what to say about gas getting up to $4.00 a gallon but you cant' blame it on the war in Iraq Kuwait makes way more oil that this **** hole!

I will continue to drive the **** out of my car!

and besides there isnt any slow in the amount of oil we have in the states its all about those who control the oil want more money.

For some one who spent all this money on a car he will never enjoy because of gas prices seems a little to me.

I mean it doesnt seam to me that you are hurting for cash

Im probably the least money marker in the ZR1 forum maybe not but I have what I have because I want it, Gas prices will not keep me from driving my car it gets great gas milage anyway!

and Ill ad to the part about germany and japan have been paying it for years I seam to recall it was 2.00 a liter in okinawa japan do some math on that one and I had a vette over there as well, but you could always get a nice economic car or a bike and pedel everywhere you go
