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'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.

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.

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).

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.

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
