You can always go to an 87 tune...some difference, but hey, how much do you want to pay to run premium?

Bleh, I have to run premium also and I just filled up yesterday for $3.57/gal [:'(]. My truck is still worse though seeing as it hold way more gas and gets worse mileage. $100 fill ups FTL.

Everyone gets so freaked out about gas prices... and if you drive a ton of miles, I can understand that, but if you drive say 10,000 miles a year and get 15 miles to the gallon on average, a $1 per gallon increase is about $50 a month. That sucks, but if that makes you sell your car, you bought the wrong car IMNSHO.

It cracks me up when i see someone buy a $!5,000 4-banger as a "daily commuter" due to gas prices. You know how many miles you'll have to drive for that car to pay for itself? It may not ever even do it because now you're paying for insurance and maintenance on 2 cars instead of one and that will eat up a lot of the money you're saving on gas.

Gas prices here were $3.09 last week for Regular. Yesterday, they went from $3.19 to$3.29. Today, they're at $3.45!!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!? But NOOO I will not sell the Mustang! It gets better mileage than my Explorer. SUV's FTL.

the funny thing is this summer i'll be driving my mustang for the cheaper gas mileage (or my wifes wrangler....naa). i have a f350 crew cab long bed w/diesel, where i'm at the diesel went to $4.00/gal yesterday, just can't imagine what it'll be in july. doesn't really matter though i'll pay it. besides, canada's been doing it for a long time and if they can put up it soooooo can we. we've just been lucky for a lot of years.

I sold my Jeep Liberty and bought the Mustang for better gas milage. I almost bought a Honda ha! But yeah I like my 23mpg vs 13 in the Libby. I miss the offroading though.
