Who is not going to drive their Camaro because of gas prices?

As we all have a concern in the back of our heads about the cost of fuel, is anyone not going to drive theirs anymore?

I know, why worry about it if you can afford a Camaro? Some of us don't like to give our money away on fuel if they can drive something else that is same distance, same speed at a lower cost in our pockets.

I live in Nebraska, and gas in now at $3.49 for super unleaded 89 octane and $3.59 for 87 octane and $3.69 for premium.

What is your price per gallon/liter?

I have enough reasons not to drive my Camaro, gas prices won't be one of them!

Highest price around here is $3.75 for regular, but most gas stastions have regular for around $3.65.

4.09/g 93 here in Chicago near me...

As much as I hate it, price of gas is something I accepted when I bought a large V8 sport car and then further chose to slap a blower on it.

I cringe when I swipe the card, but I knew what I was getting in to..


As to the price of gas itself.. Well, that's a whole different debate that I'm not getting in to.

Pssh, its $4.29 for premium here. It'll go up before it goes back down. Still gonna drive my car. Its a waste of a car payment if you're gonna drive something else to save a few bucks a month.

Premium is about $4 here. I never worry about gas prices. In all honesty I only drive a few miles to work and back so its not a big expense for work, and if I want to take a ride, I will.
I refuse to buy a little civic because I need gas milage, and honestly my Camaro does pretty good on gas if I keep my foot out of it.
I had a suburban, now have a silverado. Average about 16 miles to the gallon, id rather drive either of those at 16 mpg average then cram into a civic to get 30. you just have to budget accordingly. if you drive 30 miles each way to work, I understand needing something better on gas.... but for 10 mpg, $10 a week? id take the camaro anyday

Currently living in NJ where premium is about $3.70-$3.80 per gallon. Not only do I plan on buying a 2013 SS this summer, but I plan on driving the hell out of it when I get it. Gas prices aren't going to change that
