They make Hondas.
I mean, depending on how you look at it, it's still cheap fun.
If only I had your money.
Ha! There's nothing cheap about this hobby!!! We're all insane.
I think it is everybody else that is insane.
[We] are sane ones!!!
Let that sink in.
I'm with this fella, if your gas is costing you too much, drive something different. I wouldn't trade my V10 Excursion or my for anything. Sux to fill up the Excursion sometimes, but that's the price you pay, literally.Do what I do:
Put the card in the slot and never look at what you spend on fuel regardless of the price.
If I were all that concerned about it, I would not be driving a Mustang, and a 3/4 Ton GMT800, and a Gen2 V.
Just wait until the poor folks in Cali weigh in. I don't even know what the last price was I paid. I'm capped at 91 octane here. I don't see 93 very often at all. We do have lots of "No Corn" pumps though in 89 and 91. Farmers and ranchers don't want the 'corn fuel'. Go figure.
In the city, I can find other, including race fuels.
Whahhhhhhhhhhhhh, cry me a frikin river.Right Now in Toronto Ontario the price for gas is thru the roof 91 octane is 2.00 a liter and 94 octane is 2.05 a liter thanks Mr. Trump.
Don't buy any then!Over $5 a gallon for 87 where I live...Honestly my fox really isn't too bad on gas though. Tall rear gear FTW.
Not crying lol just saying...Whahhhhhhhhhhhhh, cry me a frikin river.
Is that 2010 or 2018? Either way, a lot has happened since... even though it may seem as if gas is skyrocketing, prices have remained relatively stable for the last ~20 years compared to many other metrics like housing or the stock market.This is one reason my truck is parked and I bought myself a nice used commuter car. The Mustangs are toys and I figure it's just the price of admission.
The funny part is that no one bats an eye at complaining about the price of fuel. Broaden the conversation - how does your wage compare to 5, 10, 20, etc years ago, what were the prices of things back then, and how have things progressed since? It's been quite a long time now since I looked and did the math, but I recently found the scratch paper I used to record the percentages. It's not just a single person these days that anyone should be mad at. As I've said, I've not done the math or looked in a long time, but I suspect that the gaps have only grown since.....
I remember recording more than these numbers, but don't recall everything I did anymore. The big one, and one that no one should be surprised by, is CEO salaries rose by over 1000% in that same time period. The short story: we're slowly being bled dry on multiple fronts and it's unsustainable. Something has to give sooner or later....

I will say carbon taxes have absolutely wrecked gas prices in my state (WA) which is sitting at roughly $1 per gallon higher than the national average. California is even worse.
With today's interest rates, who can afford a new gas miser? I guess it's worth keeping these old cars running after all.My DD v8 4runner gets worse gas mileage than my mustang. There's nothing i can do about it, not going to spend $50k on a new vehicle to get a little better gas mileage. Doesn't make financial sense. So for now, as others have said, put the card in the machine and pump. *now if the 4runner kicks the bucket then i'll look for something that gets somewhat better gas mileage.
I will go back to DD'ing my mustang once i get back in my house and get the car fixed.
