until this car is paid off. My mileage 2 months ago was 14970, as of today it is 15100. I can't afford to drive this thing with the cost of a fill up being about 60 bucks per week. My fiancee has a honda fit that we have been carpooling to work...it has a 8 gallon tank and about 40mpg.

I have pretty much parked the stang except for the occassional trip to the store and back like 10 miles a week. maybe after this 18,800 is paid off that I owe on it, i will be able to drive it!

luckily i only drive about 5 miles a day now...was driving 150/day, but i was gettin mileage cuz it was for work how much are your payments? mine are only a lil less than 350...but, still can't wait for it to be paid for...figure each year i get my tax refund, i'll make a large payment on the balance, since the interest is what's getting me(10% cuz it's my first loan)....or maybe do the big paymentto my student loans...hmmm lol

id do a payoff from the bank. i did that and i pay half what i was origanally paying. i figured over the next 5 years id be paying close to 10k on interest alone so why pay the dealership all that money when the car is only 18/19k. also whatever u pay uprolly endup payinga tiny portion of the payment itself. for example if u pay 400 dollars a month only about 100 or so goes tothe principle.sure the bank owns the car for about 2 years but its worth it and u save alot of cash.

i used to work in finance at our local dealership and thats whats how i found this out.

this is just my opinion so whatever u do is up to u. just trying to help out a lil

i hear ya. i been driving my 4banger ranger bout 80% of the time lately. nothing wrong with that but i wanna drive my stang some more. gas doesnt last long in the tank and 91 is at $4.15 here.....[:@]

laith

i use 92 just because its better for my stang and i get a bit better gas mileage its about 4.00 a gal now. Its getting ridiculous :\ and hard to drive with these prices

Bleh..
figure if gas is $3.00 a gallon thats $45 bucks to fill a 15 gallon tank.

figure if gas is $4.00 a gallon thats $60 bucks to fill a 15 gallon tank.

I drive minimum of 50 miles each day. I have to fill up about once a week. That mean I am paying an extra $30-60 bucks a month in gas because of the high prices, if $30-60 bucks month is make or break of me driving me stang, I wouldn't have bought one in the first place. I would pay an extra $100 bucks a month to not have to drive some foreign import car. Yes it would be nice if I got 40-50 mpg, but I love my stang too much to let it sit just because of a few bucks.

my ranger isnt an import! [8D].......i'm just taking advantage of having a second vehicle for the work commute. i do drive my stang to work on fridays though.

lol i am just saying as an example Also something to note... gas prices won't go down, they will only continue to rise.

Im 17, paying my parents 350 a month for my 05 stang and the rest is on gas 5 miles to school 15 miles to work in traffic = 18.7 average mpg

I drive 50 miles each day, when I drive the stang that is 1 tank and 1/3 tank per week, which is about 70 per week or 280 per month.
carpooling in my girls honda fit is 1 tank per week or 25 dollars a fill up divided between both of us = 50 per month. Its a no brainer, thats 230 bucks saved per month. I love the stang, i figure im saving the abuse of daily driving, nicks, paint chips, mileage etc... all that is a bonus to saving 230 per month in gas.
