but for us younger people, more power means worse gas milage....and some of us like the power-to-gas milage ratio....you know? its prolly one of the best. id def like to upgrade to a faster car but i know with a bigger engine ill be kicking myself in the ass filling up every week for 60+ bucks. i think it may be a good idea to keep the balt till its payed off then use it as a daily driver while i mod a real 'summer' car on the side...

but to each thier own.

Gas mileage is becoming more and more important with everyone these days...and for good reason. With oil selling for OVER $120/BBL, gas prices are soon to follow upwards....AGAIN.

$2.50???? Where the f**k do you buy gas? They are really ripping you off if you are paying $1.00 more for premium over regular.

If gas is a concern to you...STAY OUT OF BOOST!!!! Just kidding, but seriously. Yeah, if gas keeps climing its going to be rough on the Ol' pocket book. Just be glad your not in BC. Gas was at least 10 cents higher there, especially going through the Rogers pass where they have you by the *****.

i actually did an experiment on my car, i drove very mild and stayed outta boost for over 300km's and my milage jumped from 10.6L/100km(regular driving) to 14.4L/100km.

You guys are squabbling about WORK?? I would much rather relax and be getting paid then working my ass off and getting paid the same amount. I think they should have it that if you are busy, you get twice your wage.
