Whos going to mod less with gas prices going up?

[N8Miller]

With my car being an occasional driver car, i am not sure how much money i want to invest (yeah, i feel that calling it "investing" makes me feel better about doing it rather than "dumping" money into the car). Most of the parts that I want are suspension and traction right now, but still.... its not the best on gas.

what are your feelings?

i want to build a 408 stroker with afr 205's. gas is even more expensive here in canada but i say i only drive it in the summer and i want 11's N/A. so oh well about gas prices.

Gas in Canada is retarded. Not that bad here right now it's only 97.3 a litre

I'll continue to be gas guzzling American. It's my kids that will have to resort to driving electric cars because I've used up all the gas.

Or will blown injected ethanol cars be runing around the streets?



That grain alcohol is good for something....

 

[89Notch]

Not me, more boost!

I'll be modding when everyone else sells their Mustangs. (maybe not us on Stangnet, but you know what I mean)

Dam-it I am just getting started with my car, and I want to get if finished.

Last year my little girl only managed to guzzle two tanks for fuel...for the entire season! This yr I hope to smack my wallet around quite a bit more

at my slow ass rate in putting stuff in the car and with the amount it actually gets driven I don't have any problem doing a mod or 2 whenever I can. hell, the gas companies should be putting a hit out on me any day now because we hardly drive the car at all. we bought the car back in 1993 with 67,000 miles on it and haven't even put 20,000 miles on it since. the car has a total of 83,000 miles on the odometer.

If I gave a **** about gas mileage, I wouldnt be driving a passenger car with a V8. But I get 25+mpg on the highway anyways so I'm happy

 

[bdazzgt]

I will mod my car more and use more gas, and stick it to the man even more.....wait i looked at the prices and i am the one getting stuck....bastards

 

[Woodrow]

I say you cant take it with you when you die might as well spend it now. Btw you gota love c25 being $18 a gallon $2.73 for 93 doesnt seem to bad.

I bought a second car to drive around just so I could put more money into the Mustang. Gas is 112 cents a litre around here (about 3.53 US / Gallon). It's only going to get worse, since it's only Spring but with the money I'll save in gas on the other car, it will pay for itself in about a year, so I'm free to mod! Also be putting far fewer kms on the poor car (198 000kms).

 

[Bad92GT]

well my cars a DD as well.. so i will have to run with it.. im modding it still... boost, heads, and a custom grind will come this year towards the end.. by then i'll probably buy a lil redneck ranger to drive around

 

[wythors]

There's more to life than gas mileage. I'll take the bus before I drive a little ****box tin can from a manufacturer that ends in a vowel with a name that doesn't mean anything in English.

 

[GroverDill]

Let me think about it....


nope.

 

[Grn92LX]

I'll be doing 4.30 gears in the near future. Does that answer your question? Not that the gear swap is gonna hurt my mileage if at all, but you get the picture

 

[BaXTeR3221]

Sold my 5.0 so i can buy a newer mustang and make it my DD. I'll be parking the nissan, which gets about 30mpg and takes 87, until winter.....you can see how much i care about gas prices
