You all shoud stop worring about gas prices because this is where they are going to be from here on out, we will never see gas lower than about $2.10-2.22/gallon (regular) and if things keep going the way they are gas will be real close to $3.00/gallon by end of this year. You have a v-8 hight performance car if you want fuel economy go get a honda hybred as your daily driver and drive you stang only once in a while!!
has prices are going up. it keeps creeping up a few pennies a week. we're at 2.19/gallon now for regular, and that's the cheapest, average is $2.30. gas usually goes up a lot in the summer, so you're looking at like $3.00/gallon for regular by the summer.


back on topic before i hijack my own thread. glad to see i'm not the only one that always plays with his stang. i rarely spin my tires. even when i'm "racing" somebody on the street. unless it's another mustang that i know will rape me if i don't launch, i just take off normal.

Yeah I haven't had to launch yet when racing someone, but I do it from time to time just for fun.

I usually drive normal with a tad bit of non-neccessary acceleration. sometimes i accelerate just enough. i usually open her up like once a day. get her up to about 5k RPM or so. most days i don't even go that high when i "open her up". usually i'll get to about 4k and shift. is that bad for the baby? how do you guys & girls treat your pony?
I do tend to take it easy but because I commute every day at least 160 miles every day and when I am driving my pony she needs to get up and go sometimes. I did not buy a pony for looks or gas mileage I bought it because she can take the stress out of me. If you want a gas saver get a saturn.
Nanaki you old bastard, how you been!

I rarely beat on it too bad, but I like to get in it on a regular basis.

No crap, but the environmentalists would freak out. I just hate paying over 2 bucks. I remember the good old days of 80 cents for regular
